Hi I live on a small, mostly private housing estate where we have a management company setup to administer the common areas – children’s play area, fences and a few areas of grass here and there....
I quite agree with the setter. Although I have (hopefully) solved all the clues correctly and entered them , I am not also quite there . At the moment I have no idea where to go next so I shall give...
I enjoyed this puzzle and it kept me gripped right to the end but I do have some moans on editing: Bar missing from penultimate row 5d should be marked as 2 words 39a should be marked as hyphenated...

Hello EVers, I started off quite well, solving clues more or less in clue order. Came to a crunching halt in the SE sector, but sorted after a while! Then spotted a "string" of letters that helped....
A nice puzzle up until the very last step which I felt was borderline unfair. The gridfill was straightforward as was identifying the group. But, the Chambers entry for the group identifies two...
Very early finish today for me today mainly because I guessed the theme early on to 16a. I'm not sure how difficult this would have been otherwise. Clues were not challenging although it's a nice...

So tired of seeing this theme again and again and again............ 1a revealed quickly, so I figured this would be a piece of cake, and the top was indeed quick; got bogged down in the bottom half...
Nothing too challenging in today's EV. Rather disappointing for me. A gripe gathering momentum for me is that I am all too often having to refer to my earlier Chambers to confirm meanings of proper...
If I ever knew the thematic word needed for this EV
I'd long since forgotten it!
I therefore found the puzzle very trying and unsatisfactory.
I hope fellow EVers didn't feel the same....
A good solid EV although I more or less had to get the four answers before I worked out how their clues worked as the 17 letters only helped after the event. Very enjoyable, although it would have...
Happy Christmas EVers. Unusually no postings for this puzzle so far. Perhaps we do have lives beyond the EV after all and we are all busy doing Christmassy things. However I did have some time this...
Hello EVers, I had no knowledge of this theme and also didn't have the biographical dictionary recommended but it wasn't difficult to find on the web. This poses a problem for setters nowadays - do...
