Anyone bought the i paper?

The compact version of the Independent.

I shall purchase it later but was wondering if anyone has any opinions about it already.

p.s. does it include a cryptic crossword?

[Quizmonkey]

"This new spin-off from the Indy has a five-clue cryptic crossword, I see (with four-letter unches in three of the answers). Stick with the big paper, folks..."

Considering he nicked the name off the Beatles Job has a bit of a cheek don't you think.

Sorry! In crossword parlance, an unch is a cell in a crossword grid that is filled by only one answer (ie. no crossing from both a down and across entry). It's short for 'unchecked'.

Anyone actually BUYS the Indie ???

[Quizmonkey]

...so a four-letter unch is four unchecked cells in one answer. This was a quote, incidentally - not my comment on the paper/crossword!
