yes looks like they've made a mistake as your answer is correct.
I've never bought this paper either :o)

Also had The Boy next door for 8 Down - as you say,
they got wrong the breakdown of the letters for it

So easy when you have the answer
Thanks all
Surprised that Nerja and LPP don't
send in the completed grids - but grateful that the chances of winning are increased! Personally, I'm a Crossword Mercenary - if it's not got a Prize, then I don't do it. It's not the taking part that's important,it's the (chance of) winning!

Then one could do an easy one like the sunday Mirror and win �100
I prefer one that lasts a bit and I feel good if I do it - especially if I manage without help
A prize would certainly be a bonus but the Observer only gives you a dictionary I think!
