I think I may be being accused of plagiarism, the thing is, I used to buy the Sunday Times every week from about 1999 until last year and only finished purchasing it because now I'm a mature student, I don't have the funds for both Saturday's and Sunday's paper, one had to go and I opted to continue buying the Saturday paper because it has more to offer.
So, maybe, and just maybe, that when I decided to make a clue for 'cayenne pepper', it maybe stuck in my head from all those years ago when I most probably solved it back then.
lucian, I do crossword puzzles almost every day, and I write clues for my own crosswords and for the Joint Effort on here, I am in no way a cheat, I must be able to store memorable clues in my subconscious. What a gift! Thanks for highlighting this for me, you are a true gent. Thanks
