Dickie I have contacted the Telegraph regarding this.I submitted the p puzzle with 18d as Pigs ears but it came up as one mistake.The person I spoke to was a bit doubtful that there was a mistake so a phone call from you would help.

[dannyk13]

Lynne there are eight lights so it has to be pigs ears.

[Mamyalynne]

sorry

[Dickiedot]

Ok Danny will do the grid is wrong there should be a black square on the bottom line to match the top line, I'll let you know how I get on

[dannyk13]

Ta Dickie, Lynne Dickie spotted that the last light should be a blank which I failed to see.

[Dickiedot]

Hi Danny I called and a nice lady said yes they'd already had a call or calls regarding this and it was being dealt with she took my number and promised to get back to me, I'll let you know what transpires

[dannyk13]

Thanks Dickie.

[dannyk13]

Corrected grid now available.Submitted OK..

[Dickiedot]

Hi Danny just been back to the puzzle, it's been updated to a (4,3) clue and the blank filled in, entered it and got a 100% no phone call though
see if you can re-enter it
Regards Dickie

[Dickiedot]

oops just seen your answer lol Well done

[dannyk13]

All's well that ends well Dickie.Good luck with your entry.

Just had phone call from Telegraph. Apparently the setter put an apostrophe in pig's which is why there were 8 lights.
