red shoes

[aeronut]

That should read r?d ?o?e?

[aeronut]

Don't think so as bell rope seems correct for 14 across

[dannyk13]

Red hose

[dannyk13]

Sorry- Red boxes -red(wine) + boxes(socks)

Good afternoon Danny, hope you are having a good day xx

[aeronut]

Thanks Dannyk13

[dannyk13]

Yes thanks Margot.You too?

[Baldric]

Interesting spacing in the OP

[MargoTester]

Yes good thanks. Had the neighbours round for drinks and nibbles at 12ish so have not long finished lunch! Having a wind down with a puzzle book while Oh and son had a bit of a doze. Cup of tea and a piece of Limoncello Buche de Noel(Sainsburys special) and then onwards to my favourite programme 'strictly' I miss the Mail crossword!

[MargoTester]

Good afternoon Bah Humbug, all well with you ?

[dannyk13]

It'll be back tomorrow

[MargoTester]

Yes indeed, got some friends popping in for lunch on their way back to Norfolk so I'll be late starting. See you tomorrow x

[corylus]

Wondered what you'd've been doing today Dannyk with no papers and xwords, had to resort to buying a crap xword comic yesterday to keep me going! Appreciate all your help, with the sometime obscure clues in the 'Mail' crosswords.

Cheers!

Corylus, the Telegraph still publish on line crosswords on Christmas Day.

[Captain2]

Just to rub it in peeps (as I'm sure Danny is aware) the Telegraph have very kindly published a crossword today on their subscription page - very good it is too ;0))

[Captain2]

Swine Danny - beat me to it ;)

[dannyk13]

Is that the Double Toughie Capt?

[Captain2]

It's just headed No 100,007 Danny, so probably not

[Captain2]

Strange - just found The Toughie which is also numbered 100,007. Perhaps a sherry too many in the office?
