Good morning Speccie-ists. This week's offering is 'Common Factor' by Lavatch:

No joy for me in the Christmas competition. Any lucky AB winners I wonder?

Thanks for the link greyfox...

Many thanks for link ,much appreciated.

Thank you Greyfox for the link. Relatively straightforward, despite my ignorance of authors! As I don't send in any solved crosswords, I will not appear on any winner or runner-up lists.

I wonder whether Crofter - or anyone else who has ever won a Spectator crossword-competition - could let me know what the time-gap is between winning and receiving the prize. I won over two months ago and still await the goodies. Asking the editor by e-mail and snail-mail has produced a nil response.
I've subscribed to this question, so you can contact me right here. My thanks in anticipation.

Oh dear...my apologies for the extreme italicisation!

I had nearly given up hope Quizmonster when the cheque arrived ..it took about two months.

Thanks for that, Slaney. There's still hope, then!
