Have completed this but have nagging doubts about the river at 4 down, where I believe 2 answers satisfy the wordplay. I've gone for the English one. I'd appreciate your thoughts.

I too have the English one, but I didn't see an alternative.

Good morning, Malone. There is a Welsh alternative with an "a" which might flow "historically"? Otherwise, I can't see what "historic" is doing in the clue.

Haven't started yet ... but no preamble? No special conditions??

The reason for the lack of preamble should become clear when you see what has happened to some of the clues and some answers. The absence of a preamble is a cryptic indicator.

I have been sent a copy of this but there is a blank space beneath the compiler 's name where I presume the preamble should be. Please can some kind soul post what the instructions are.

Kerguelen, see the above comments - there is no preamble. It's not as baffling as it first appears!

TonyNannini, glad you got 4 D sorted (in your mind).
