I may have mentioned these points before, ricxx, but:
1)if you bookmark scorrpiojo's link you can use that site each week to get all these answers. It would save all that time typing these out.
2) You can acknowledge answers by replying to your own question with a message of your choice.
Good luck

FF - You have the patience of a saint :0))

[fiction-factory]

Thanks, Captain2.
I'm not sure why ricxx doesn't just name the crossword in the title box and ask for the solution grid each Monday

Some more questions here.

Have you got them all now, ricxx?

[scorpiojo]

Those are last week's, ff.....acknowledge?!

[aelmpvw]

//Have you got them all now, ricxx?//

he should have, a link to the complete solution has been provided

[fiction-factory]

Acknowledged! Thanks.
I must have missed last week's thread at the time. Apologies to ricxx for not helping then

[fiction-factory]

We can't be sure the link works for him though, aelmpvw, or he'd use it each week

[Captain2]

Well I've had one answer removed, but I hope you get to see this FF.
Please don't waste your time and effort any more.

[scorpiojo]

I wasn't correcting you, ff...I think we'll have a long wait for an acknowledgement ;o)

[fiction-factory]

Yes, some users have a browser issue- I recall some don't make it easy to reply to one's own questions as the submit button doesn't appear.
It's not really an effort Captain2- the bulk of the effort seems to fall on ricxx who has to type out all those clues (and he must do that rather than copy and paste as there are some typos) but he always get answers so he must be doing something right
