For some unknown reason, I'm unable to access the Generalist crossword ... just getting the message " The website declined to show this webpage".

Would some kind soul please add the link for me?

Many thanks (S)

Same here S..sometimes there is a bit of a delay.

Thanks slaney ... presumably "slow 'n easy" has the published copy of Prospect Magazine.

Thanks, Slaney, for excellent research on the hamlets of the Black Isle! I am assuming that 23 D is ROYAL CONSENT.

The printed issue arrived yesterday in advance of the pdf. on their website being updated.

Now to read the articles!!

I think that The Generalist has gone the same way as The Listener
I really hope that The Spectator does not go down the same route

Agreed, augustusH ... the quality of the March generalist was really disappointing. :O(

Yes, we receive the Prospect weekly letter and it seems they are adopting a new policy of only putting certain articles on-line. Those do not seem to include the Generalist. A pity - just when the Guardian has offered its crosswords free (I am sure that, in the long run, that boosts circulation).

It's now back on-line. I contacted the webmaster and this is down to the c*ck-up, not the conspiracy, view of history. So rest easy.
