[bobbinwales]

Does these give you anymore letters for 23d please?
Is that clue typed exactly right here? It don't read quite right? Maybe it should be A current issue?

[ducksie]

that's the clue Bob, it is rapids, I finished this crossword earlier and all answers given to scooke match mine

[mallyh]

23 topical?

[bobbinwales]

I thought of topics mallyh but it doesnt quite work and dont explain the water charges bit

[bobbinwales]

I can see its rapids... and I was just starting to warm to RTE clues but this ones too clunky to me

[ducksie]

charging water like rapids on a river, strong current

[ducksie]

I think you were getting fond of the anagram answers Bob ;)

[bobbinwales]

It was this thread I think ducksy where the clues all seemed good to me

Ducksie I would get in touch with them.
I won the £50 in the Sunday World, had to chase them
up and then the sent a One4all card, at least I could use
it Belfast, I also won the Ireland's Own (One hundred
Euro prize ~ word maze ~ they normally send £100 sterling )
but sadly nothing when I got in touch they eventually sent
a Perx card that contrary to their online info cannot be
used here in the 6 counties, I again got in touch and they
emailed me to say that 'Imelda in the front office would
be in touch' ?? I'm still waiting, this goes back to May.
This takes the cream of the bun for me.
My moan for today
Weather very hot, keep cool and have a lovely day,
hope you get you winnings soon.
