Shall we try to keep the thread already started -
http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Quizzes-and-Puz zles/Question322521.html
.... going throughout all the Questions that will come on this xword in the next 3 weeks?
{We then a) do not clutter up the front-page with oft repeated questions and anwers; b) have one easy searchable reference for 'December Generalist' - if it works then may be carry same principle on in January 2007 with another one single thread - c) should help the dear old creaking Search this Site function; etc}
I am suggesting that, the group doing this puzzle is small in number, so to answer these tough questons we all help each other, and make life easier for those who are looking for answers give some background about each answer? Isn't it much more satisfying to understand about an answer , than just to be given it?
So .... if a new thread is opened for December Generalist --> could ABers ...... post this answer -->

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Great idea prospector and may I say that I do appreciate the information you usually give along with your answers. A prime example being this morning's information re the British coffee houses. This is information I don't have to hand and had merely guessed the answer had to do with coffee. Thanks for your detailed explanation. One never ceases to learn especially when we have someone willing to "light the way." Thanks sincerely.
Good evening prospector, I agree with fellow generalist's a good idea, and also been interesting to read your explanations of answers, this months seems more cryptic than the usual general knowledge type and searching out crossword, interesting to do and good that in short time shaney introduced it been a number of AB winners. I am impressed they accept just a print out and don't have to buy the Magazine, also can read most of it on line.
Meant to mention, prospector, that I don't enter the actual competition for the Generalist. The two of us work at it and call it our monthly brain workout.
Perhaps we are eligible to enter, don't know, but in the event that we just might win don't think that the folks at Generalist would be willing to ship such a large prize all the way across the Atlantic. So here's hoping that this month's winner will again be one of our new friends from this site.
Cheers O-ice.
