Certainly the first time, and probably the last for some time, but I've completed this one!

Great fun, some real challenging clues and parsing!

Anyone needing a nudge, just holler!

Agreed saddleworthian. I was just wondering whether there was any special significance in the letter to be put below the grid.
Happy New Year to all friends on the Listener threads.

Well done. I can remember that feeling when I first completed one. Once you get there then others quickly follow. Like you it's thanks to the help I received on the forum and from my friend Don.

Hi unclued

I thought it just fitted the title if read cryptically as the abbreviation for one of its words.

Unclued,
I wondered the same, but can't see it!

djawhufc - thanks for the encouragement! My mind must have just been in the right place this morning! It all flowed out in an hour or so

Well done, Saddleworthian. But you surprise me that this is the first time you have completed a puzzle. The comments you've made on previous puzzles suggested (at least to me) that you were solving them.

Happy New Year to all.

No, you are quite right, I probably have a 50% success rate or thereabouts.

The first time was having finished so soon, totally unaided, and before a thread had even been created.

All the best for 2016 to the wider 'listenership'!

I have not been so successful today so would welcome a hint for 1 across. Thanks
