o.....k...... this tells me that this is not for me! Puff Pastry wow! I can see the back end of Particular and hungry but whilst puff past does mean struggle to overtake its not exactly a recognised phrase. I find the construction of some of these clues just too vague. Auracaria always leaves me with that lovely moment on working a clue out that every part of the clue is used and makes sense but Paul, no. The odd clue is fine but there are more and more tenuous structures creeping in making these crosswords more guess work than clever construction. I will have to go back to the Telegraph and maybe the i but that one too has its moments....... Its a shame I have enjoyed these crosswords up to now.

A bit late for me to comment but I agree absolutely. I have called on the G. on this forum more than once to relieve Paul (at least) from their duties as I find there is no satisfaction involved in solving their puzzles: just complicated but no fun, unlike the incomparably superior Ar. You heve formulated our dissatisfaction beautifully: high time it were acted upon!
