Ah! I had the wrong answer for 4down, but probably still wouldn’t have got it. Thank you!

Hi Malone
I think we're only supposed to give hints for a prize crossword.
Re my post 28. I meant 1d not 6d.

Thanks, rossim, I did wonder about that afterwards! I think I prefer 'we conventionally give hints' to 'we're supposed to give hints'!

You can prefer what you prefer but please don’t give the answers.

Sallymac, other solvers' views are always interesting.

Rossim, it's fine really - I just felt the 'supposed to' is a bit of a stretch, as this site has very few rules, and I don't think any of them come from the solvers! I'm quite happy to try to remember that the Guardian threads usually involve just clues, but I won't be abjectly apologetic if I forget. I don't often look at Guardian clues, so you're probably relatively safe!

I'm sorry about the way I worded it.
I think 'it's conventional' not to give answers for the prize crosswords whether it's the Guardian or not. This also applies to the quizzes with money prizes.
However, don't lose any sleep over it. I won't!

Rossim, I agree entirely with 'conventional', hence my post 34. I don't think that necessitated the 'advice' that followed.
