Hi everyone, just got a lovely surprise, postman delivered a padded envelope I wasn't expecting. Opened it to find a cheque for £50 and beautiful fountain pen, accompanied by a lovely letter informing me I had won the Herculis Crossword on Dec 5th, I must have missed seeing the winner on the 12th. This is the second time I have won this crossword in 2 1/2 years. Thanks to all ABer's who have helped over a long period of time. All the best for the festive season and keep puzzling it does bear fruit. COLUMBUS
