Daily Record Crosswords
28 Answers
Does anyone else agree with me that there are too many void crosswords in the Daily Record? The price of stamps is not cheap now and it is all very well giving 2 winners this weekend but we don't get our stamp money back and have to use another stamp this Saturday. Why not just void the answer and give the prize to someone who gets the rest right.

(but she refused as they have someone else lined up.
Hi katburd whoever you spoke to doesn't seem to have been very helpful - or very friendly. Thanks again for taking the trouble to find out more.
I don't have Tuesday's paper now but I'm sure there's another telephone number listed on the crossword page. Some time last year I phoned the number and got through to the compilers' secretary who told me they didn't come into the office till eleven! I forgot to phone back - that must have been another day that the paper got lobbed in the bin. lol

JMR27, I agree I felt she wasn't the right person either, and she admitted that too, that's why she said she would put me in touch with the new compiler so that I could explain to him what the problems were, he would understand better, I had about 13 examples of ambiguous clues but it made no sense to her, so we will just have to wait and see, I'll not hold my breath. :)
