EV 1028 Small Change by Piccadilly

18 across is not in Chambers 2011! Understandably setters may have used previous editions when compiling these crosswords but if the preamble goes to the trouble of mentioning that a place name is not...

EV 1023 Phoenix byRasputin

This puzzle was just the right degree of difficulty for me - some have been far too easy of late. Last few clues took a while before all fell into place. However there were four wrong word lengths -...

EV 1022 Protagonist by Salamanca

This was far too easy for EV standards. Finished before breakfast! So disappointed as I love to savour this puzzle until at least lunch time. At least it might serve to encourage newcomers I suppose....

EV 1019: Losing the Plot by Nutmeg

EV 1018: Self-Evident

I have nearly completed all the answers to the clues but I fail to see any connection between my answer to 1 down and the word locate. How to finish off the puzzle at the moment baffles me since it is...

EV 1017 Epilogue by Oxymoron

I rather muddled through this cleverly constructed puzzle guessing how down entries were entered before knowing how across entries were entered. However a couple of slapdash entries held me up for a...

EV 1016: Sentry Duties by MynoT

Hello EV N&Cers Started off by entering the answers to what I thought were quite easy clues, and ended up with an awful lot of clashes! Then the brain sort of marched into action. It became...

EV 1014 Two of a kind

Well it's done but not one of my favourites (although the theme is!) - I thought the seven were somewhat less than thematic.

EV 1012 Drab Cops by Nudd

Hello N&Cers, took a long time for the PDM on this one, but well worth the wait, I thought. A very nice twist to the 12 clues. Thanks for the workout, Nudd.

EV 1011: Title by Piccadilly

I normally don't like this type of EV, where the lights and clues are not numbered, but the cluing was straightforward and grid entry similar. Except that the clue, "Cat, excited, close to...

EV 1009 Rash by Kcit

Quite a challenging puzzle this week, between extra letters, clashes and redundant definitions - and one completely normal clue. An inspired guess at the 11-letter across led me to the quote and lots...

EV 1004

Quite a straightforward offering - I am a little unsure why the 5 cells are "aptly displayed"

EV 987: Network by Syd Lexis

Have completed the grid and have all the unclued entries but I cannot see what to highlight nor can I see the relevance of Practically Worthless. Any help?
