Whatever time do you get up if you are sending helpful replies so early!! Or is it for the jumbo on Saturday ?!

I noted we got 2 apologies in the Times for those errors last week!

Good morning redcoral
Pleased to see the Times apologised at last.
just thought I would offer a couple of answers while breakfasting ! I am off out now for a while. Have a good day :)

Well even more of an apology has arrived on page 31 of today's Times under Opinion "Never a crossword" where Rose Wild comments on the errors!

I had to laugh at Pat McCarthy and his wife having to talk to each other at breakfast ;)

Hi Redcoral, I have found the piece on page 31 - interested in where the other apology is situated.

Also does it refer to the same issue or a different one?

The other 2 apologies were on the following day after the errors. One was under concise 2 in ORANGE! The other was on the letters page under "Corrections"!

We were all annoyed on this site but Rose Wild appears to have had a number of complainers to her column!

Thanks for that - thought you were referring to something from last weekend, can put the magnifying glass down for now.


Hope you are well.

Mamya I'm still rather unsteady after my hip operation. It's not the hip troubling me but the left knee in which I've had arthritis for more than 2 years. I was told doing the left hip should help so I'm still hoping!!

What was the magnifying glass for ?!

Oh I do hope you get relief very soon.


I am partially sighted, so was for the small print :-)

Now I understand but I notice you often help me on this site !

I suppose we should have labelled this "only partly Xword " or I'll get in trouble with Norah or Ash
