I have just read through the clues and am baffled so about to give up too.
Used to enjoy this crossword

[Surbiton]

Could not agree more, setter is terrible and no fun any more.

Sorry to have to say this but I've just finished it. Perhaps I'm on the same wavelength as the setter!

Does everyone know that you can access this puzzle for free on line ?
No need to buy the paper, if all you want is to enter the Everyman Crossword.

Have to say that new compiler - if there is one - is better in the sense of being a much more challenging test. However, it has lost it's old jocularity and thus not such a good fit for the concept of 'Everyman' and lighthearted Sunday entertainment. But c'mon Reddog, give it more of a try!

[dubsie]

Only just finished now,it's taken me two days! So glad I'm not the only one finding it nigh on incomprehensible .... but I used to enjoy it more a few years ago when the clues were often clever puns or jokes.
