Will do.I'll go by Tel fromnow on.
What is the other site people are talking about.

I am the "nameless one" The reason we comment on how long it takes every week is because usually the clues are so bloomimg horrible. 25 mins is my quickest yet and usually most of it is done fairly quickly, then you end up with the horrible clues and they are often in a corner together which makes it harder.
The other site is answerbank.co.uk

Hi Sara

This is a more friendly and chattier site than AB. Occasionally one or two of oldies have a go at one another, but its usually good natured.

Quite often we will already have done it anyway. THe quickest response I have had was a couple of months ago from Trevor. Less than a minute for something that had been worrying me for over a day.

What I like about this site is that it is so friendly compared to the other which is so matter of fact.
I am usually too slow to get my answers in first, but I enjoy the mental test of trying to solve the clues, even if I am not the first to answer. There are one or two contributors, like those who have responded earlier to this post who are extremely helpful,and if you stick with it you will learn a lot about cryptics. I have
