Have just completed the crossword and like Old Gal, feel pretty chuffed! So I have plucked up the courage to break into your circle, hope you don't mind! Have really enjoyed reading the threads over the last 6 months. Really good fun! Recovering from major surgery gave me the opportunity to spend time on crosswords. I usually spend a good few days pondering the answers. Mind you, no way I could do it in 20 mins!It is so nice that no answers are given but some clues to help us amateurs along. Bring on number 24!
