Bumfreezer. What crossword is this please? As far as the DT crossword society is concerned the latest is only number 25502.

Thank you all. It's actually the Weekly Telegraph which us expats. have to wait for. I thnk that they take the S/T's cryptic and recycle it - but I'm not sure.
I should have realised that it was a bumfreezer (having worn one in the past!) and I got stuck on DEW!
I'm sure that 3D is BUGABOO (7)"Pester one, sound disapproving with cause for anxiety" B*G*B*O (Bug/A/Boo) but can't find it anywhere!

[Catron]

Thanks for the info, Escutcheon.

Bugaboo is in Chambers dictionary:

bugaboo n a bogy, or object of terror; a cause of anxiety.

[Escutcheon]

Thanks again. Although I have numerous dictionaries and Google, etc. I suppose that I shall have to get a Chambers for my sins!
Regards, BAJ

Pardon me for asking, Escutcheon - but is your Weekly Telegraph crossword a prize one? I ask as it is the one printed in today's Telegraph here in the UK, which is, as you probably know, is a prize competition. Thanks.

[Escutcheon]

I always thought that our W/T was culled from the previous week's editions of the DT and the ST. Every four weeks we get a prize one bur having once won it we tend to use ours up for kindling (we have three open log fires and it's been very cold lately >-7'C. Regards.

Interesting. Thanks for that. Congratulations on your win. All the best. Keep warm.
