Has everyone noticed the footnote to say that we are only looking for 3 sets of linked words this week ?

[skybluefred]

phantom is the bogus one

fibre glass

eventides

short horn

[sincnoel]

i'm not so sure. go to google and tap in "phantom event" and you'll get plenty of matches

[Aquagility]

Not sure about fibre glass, skybluefred, it could be glass fibre.

[cpfcrosie]

I agree with sincnoel- phantom event does exist, and event-ides is a pun worthy of the quick crossword

[skybluefred]

food for thought.my wife and i debated eventides, could you have the plural,and decided it was better than phantom event.fibre glass must be acceptable either way round as both are correct.

First of all thanks Cheshunt, I hadn't spotted it so might have spent ages wondering if my sight was going.

I'm sticking with Eventides, mainly because I have stuck down the envelope and can't be bothered changing it. With the Telegraph it is anybody's guess which one.
