I guess ours is correct as in "God save our ...."

[JULIEWOOLIE]

Yes I think youre right thanks everyone!Julie

[EmP]

How does TERM justify please?

[swannbaker]

I believe the clue read ....got to last word . Term is thus used in sense of period of time and in the sense of phrase/term/word . Not the greatest clue though .

This was the last one that I was stuck on so many thanks. I was lucky enough to win a collection of Morse dvds from this crossword last week. First win after faithfully completing the puzzle and submitting it in 6 years.

Willtun - you've just blown my theory that entries sent to the Times never get looked at! Do you post yours? Is there a special format for entering or do you just fill in the page, cut it out and send it?

Hi draynede, I've also won once, so has my dad and his next door neighbour.... yes, just by filling in name and posting. However, I've never won Sat Telegraph because so many people send that in each week (I presume).
