Question Author
Thank you Sir ( I assume you are a Sir as you are a King!). As I said you have been a real inspiration to me. Although it was a teacher who set me off on the crossword route, you and a few others are the ones that really helped me understand how they work. But sometimes ( and it's often little words that defeat me) I still need help. But I hope to crack them too one day. Part of the trouble is that She Who Must Be Obeyed will only allow me to do the weekend one so that it doesn't interfere with homework. Still it's good to be able to do the Big One!
Thank you again Sir
