Grumpy start for me too!
Still, so long as some newspaper organisation is increasing their profits or cutting their costs what does it matter about the readership ?
Prospero - I got the same score (and from memory scored 280 last week too, when I did it in half the time)! Suspect it doesn't mean too much.
Found this very tough but still with many of Mr Connor's quirks, so it looks like he's stayed on board.
With enough data I’m sure we can work out the scoring system. 9 mins all correct is 370, and 3 mins 17 secs all correct is 445, so the maximum looks to be 500 with a deduction for time spent
