Is it impossible to complete? Because there are only two 12 letter answers and only two 13 letter answers, I don't see how I can have gone wildly wrong, but I am left with a lot of 8 letter and 6 letter answers which don't fit in any of the remaining places. I have already rubbed it all out and started again once; do I need to do the same again?

Yes it is impossible because the 2nd letter of both of the 13 letter words is E, and none of the down answers that could intersect match

You and me both. I was beginning to wonder where I'd left my brain. I suspect there's something else amiss..
Also us - pretty sure we have all the answers and can’t get them to fit - neither of the 13s works

Thanks. Glad to know it's not just me!

By the way, I both tweeted and emailed the NS a couple of days after the Xmas edition came out about this issue but had no reply to either.
