Listener 4344: Fast And Loose By Ifor

Not nearly as scary as the preamble suggested, and a really nice sequence of PDMs leading to a satisfying final grid. Thanks Ifor, and I hope everyone here (in the UK, at least) has a nice long weekend.

I agree that the author's name is essential to demonstrate an understanding of the puzzle and two forms of the grid. Most enjoyable. Thank you.

I have a large slice of humble pie to eat. I take back what I said about the text box. Having read some comments on another site where there some completely erroneous suggestions for the author, I see I have been proved wrong.

On an unrelated note, would anyone (ideally someone who has had experience of submitting crosswords for the Listener) be interested in test-solving a puzzle? It's already been test-solved by one setter, but it would be great to have another for a final check.

PureListener

olichant, I'd be pleased to have a go at the test solve. Email me at jedwards621 at hotmail dot com. Any format document. I'm twiddling my thumbs after a quick solve this week.

PureListener

Sorry olichant, I misread your post. I've never actually submitted/compiled a crossword, only solved them (for 20 years now) but I still volunteer.

Many thanks, PureListener - message sent.

Scorpius

Olichant, if you still need another test solver I'd be happy to oblige. I fulfil your criteria and am au fait with the Listener editorial rules, both stated and unstated. You can contact me at .

Many thanks for the offer, Scorpius - I think your contact details must have been pulled by the system. I'm on olichant08 at gmail dot com.

A lot of people don't realise that words like satisfying and pleasing make a lot of people puke up.
