[MASS1961]

How many clues are in this crossword?

15 questions?

[elliemay1]

Did you get any yourself? Only joking! Have had a few glasses of wine.

[sir.prize]

??? lynne asks the questions - and petal thanks everyone!!!

[elliemay1]

They must be on the wine too!

[Sam1960]

joint effort !!

[bibblebub]

hip hip hooray? (joint effort, geddit)

[sir.prize]

Yea geddit, bibble

[MASS1961]

Don't get the point of doing the crossword in the first place, answer a few clues and post the rest on here.

I'll ask for help occasionally if i'm really stuck with 1 or 2 to go but......15?

[bibblebub]

... and the wrist is history

[elliemay1]

Mass, maybe it was a very big crossword. Don't be too harsh.

[squarebear]

Any and all questions are welcome to be asked and answered here. If the poster wants help with the entire thing then so be it.

[shooty]

'Amen' to that, (geddet) : )

[elliemay1]

I agree squarebear, but at the same time I wouldn't derive much pleasure from doing a crossword where I had to ask for most of the answers.
