48 Seen answered as Prized and Pricey

[Sam1960]

48a looks like a choice of answer here/ either pricey ?
or prized ?

[gilliedhu]

thank you all very much for your help

[Sam1960]

you're welcome

[Sam1960]

Spoke to the DR and the answer the compiler is looking for is "pricey" Still waiting to hear if they will be accepting both answers. Good luck

[vakayu]

Good morning Sam I see you phoned again,did they realise there were two possibilities

[Sam1960]

Think I might have been the only person to point it out to them ? The very nice person that I spoke with is going to e-mail the company who compiles the crosswords for the paper, and let them make the decision. Its just a shame and so frustrating that it happens so often !! Will post anything if and when the DR get back to me.

[vakayu]

Thanks for that info Sam,as you say very frustrating and with the cost of postage just a waste,can I ask is the phone number for the DR and Sunday Mail with Seven Days the same number?

[Sam1960]

Morning vakayu, Yes it is. When you get through to the switchboard you ask to be put through to "marketing" They must be sick fed up of me !! Thing I've blown my invite to the Christmas night out !!

[Sam1960]

^
think

[vakayu]

Ha on the contrary Sam I think both you and Katburd should both receive special invitations as part of the team!!

[Sam1960]

I'll suggest it to them vakayu if they phone me back :0}
See you all later, or sooner if I get any news.

[vakayu]

OK Sam bye for now,good luck.
