I missed the paper on Sunday so asked on here for the word that was printed for the clue writing competition. I was kindly informed that it was 'overcompensated'. Unfortunately I don't know the competition number either, think it might be 1145 or 1189. Can anyone enlighten me please. Thanks in advance. M

Hello Merlinus
It is number 1178 - entries to Clue Writing Contest 1178, The Sunday Times, 1 Pennington Street, London E98 1SG by Saturday. Last week's winner was: Listener - He's nervously silent in audience with the Queen.

Thanks for that Argee. Knew the address and the 11 start but nothing else. Always think my submissions are too complicated when I see what they decide as the winning entry. Thanks again. M.
