I’m saying anybody who did it is wrong in my view, but I didn’t and still haven’t read your post on it. Sec is boss. Rico isn’t. 

Righto, cheers.

Cryptics are difficult, but, corner an old Irish bloke in most pubs - like I did 30 years ago - and they'll give you the pointers on it.

 

Or watch the "Riddle of the Sphinx" episode of Inside Number 9.

 

Then try the Viz crossword.

If you're not too concerned about the newspaper's political bent, upgrade to The Times or Telegraph crosswords, for instance.

Mind you, comrade, I could be preaching to the converted.  You might be getting The Guardian, Times, Independent, Telegraph crosswords out before lunch every day.

 

In which case, fair play to you.

 

 

If VI is doing the same Mirror crossword as myself it will be the very difficult General Knowledge one , I don't think the others you mention are similar & I am absolutely hopeless on Cryptic ( Interestingly , on Politics Today it was mentioned that Bletchley Park actively recruited partially by seeing who could solve cryptic crosswords )

Who then donate to the Tory Party, to keep their goldmines safe from pesky taxes.

The very rich do that.  I am talking about normal people buying places in central London under the right to buy scheme in the late 90s that are now worth a lot more than that.  The right to buy sceheme, allowed some, to pick up properties for extremely cheap prices, way under market value.

 

The areas that really saw the value increases for ex council properties would have been more Labour than Tory.

 

They would not be donating at this level and probably wouldn't be employing advisers with regard to tax either.

Yep,the 'Quizword' as its called. More of a general knowledge type crossword than traditional.

Actually managed to find 2 books of older Quizwords from the 80's on Amazon and they are far easier than today's ones.

The only reason I sometimes buy the Mirror,for the quiz word but The Times and Telegraph are the best cryptic crosswords for me though it’s expensive getting the former everyday, my paper bill is just under £15 a week but I need that cryptic fix each day and glad I learnt myself how to crack them , to a certain degree of success.

General Knowledge ones are good too.

Yes , the only criticism I have with the present guy/girl is you can bank on at least one each of Rugby players / Cricketers / French regions most days.
