Thanks, Matakari - and there was no need for you to be looking for something complicated as we'd given you pretty direct help! 

PS I don't think today's EV is your sort of thing.

Matakari, the latest Guardian Genius could be one for you. There are no missing or extra letters, no extra words, nothing omitted in the wordplay - ie none of the things that aren't your bag!

Hello, fellow Speccy crossword solvers. Are you all still able to get it from your usual source? Do you pay a subscription for the magazine? I used to be able to get the crossword easily but am blocked by a paywall now.

(Yes, I know it's very cheeky of me to expect something for nothing 😁 )

Cloverjo, I pay a (hefty) subscription for the magazine, but I know many ABers get the puzzle sent to them every week. If you have a throwaway email address, I could send you the details...
