You can ask anything you like and I'm sorry but I'm not on answer bank.
I think there is a way of posting photos anonymously (as Les did with my cake all those years ago) but have no idea how it's done.
Your idea is a good one, thanks.

I have posted photos before (radio times crossword etc) using tinypic.com but I fear this could start the forum turning into facebook. There are very few crossword queries coming in now, as it is

Jazzgirl, I have noticed the lack of crossword queries coming in.
Not sure why, but I have almost stopped doing a daily crossword. No reason, just doing different things.
Could be others are the same?

Hi, Rusty!
Actually, I have been thinking about your camping idea......and, although I know you suggested it to wind me up(!) I do believe that there is some merit in it (somewhere!). Did I mention that we are all going on a picnic on Sunday ? Four grandsons all together? 7(nearly 8) 5, and 3 years.
I'm thinking we could take an old sheet and rig up a 'tent'? ( in the absence of the real thing?)
I'm sure they would love that - we're taking food such as sausages (although pre-cooked!) and it would be good fun, I think?
I'll remember to check the river (yes, we have one of those , too) for dead sheep!!!! (says she , tongue in cheek....)
You do have good ideas, sometimes, Rusty!

rusty: other forums are very busy.

Are they, Jazzgirl?
Did not realise that.

rusy: today: this site: 7 crossword queries;
the "other one" 59 !

Great, Elle!
A wee bit of imagination goes a long way!
Honestly, it sounds great!
And the boys will have a good time!
Hope the weather holds.
And no tongue in cheek about the Highland sheep!
Did Moobli not find any deer or sheep in a burn?
Find a place that is away from it all if possible.
Play at Robin Hood and the wicked Sheriff!
Take some rope and they can tie Granddad to a tree.
Great fun!

It has been that way for a while, Jazzgirl.
People move on from sites.
Julie, Aberdeen;, Wendy, the Joker, and many more.
All gone from here.

I don't even recognise any of those names you've just mentioned! and I've been on here for over a year now. Do you think there could be fewer queries because people are getting better at solving? I used to ask for a lot more 'help' than I do now, for instance. Maybe this applies to others; and it's holiday season too.
Folk with children/ grand children won't have as much time?
Also, a lot of the threads were from "Quizzers"- and they were sort of kindly warned off because of asking for help when the setters had specifically asked them not to do so?
Just a thought.....?
