Gordonia .... 22d) you gave a letter 'h' above

I suspect that you have entered 'happy'

The answer that they seem to want is 'lucky'

the letter 'c' of lucky goes into peacock

[pega]

28a Lucky the C from peacock and this was one of the missing squares ( Lucky -charm)
It really is unbelievable that it would seem one of the link solutions would have been Literal error = mistake in printing wonder if they will print the link solutions I will certainly check before I buy next week if shaded areas In the e mail I sent I suggested as this has been cancelled twice in a few weeks should drop shaded area's as the prize was cut from �500 to �250.

Pandabear,you're right I did put happy,so many thanks to you,JimJools,and Pega for your answers.Perhaps it should be dropped altogether if the paper cannot be bothered printing it correctly,although I would hate to see this happen as it has been part of my weekend for many years now,and I think Michael Meapham deserves better service than that which he currently is receiving from the DT.
