On behalf of myself and Ash, I would like to wish everybody a very Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year. Thank you for supporting the Crossword Solver site and for your patience with the very annoying adverts. Very well done to the cryptics amongst you, I often have a look at these threads and wonder how on earth you manage to solve them. The reasoning behind some of the answers is mind boggling. I've just got one request - if you do give a cryptic answer then can you please explain your answer! Many thanks. Again HAPPY CHRISTMAS
