I've been away for the past couple of weekends but have managed to get the papers for my crossword fixes. I was late in looking at the latest ones but have been astounded to find that from last weekend's Independent I was one of the winners ( for the fourth time !), and even more flabbergasted by the fact that I won the Listener (the one about the Eiffel Tower). You could have knocked me down with a feather !!!! Two in one weekend !!!
Thank you k and all the others for their kind comments and congratulations. Of course I haven't taken offence ; I knew that your words were said in jest.
I just hope that I can see others like yourself with their name up in lights when they win such a prestigious crossword. Admittedly I possess Chambers already so the prize is a bit superfluous, but I know of some gratetful recipient who will enjoy the book(s).
