My first listener from one of the Magpie team (talk about coincidences from last weeks magpie pitch).

Obvious misprints made this fairly straightforward to start but tricky to finish. The theme however was right up my street so the PDM finally dawned and then I very much enjoyed piecing it together.

A diagonal red herring having completed the top right hand corner first led me to think of the wrong 4!

Many thanks Tiburon

Further to recent discussions about the Chambers CD Rom I too find it invaluable and regret that Chambers chose not to develop it further. I only wish that the instructions were more comprehensive; I am sure that it can do things that I don't know about.

I use this alongside TEA, a new version of which is being tested as I write. Over more years than I care to think about this has been a constant source of help and I know that compilers find other products on the site at www.crosswordman.com to be very useful. It is certainly worth a look.
I agree with the positive comments subscribers have made about the Chambers CD Rom and wish that Chambers had been able to develop it alongside the dictionaries. I am not sure that I am fully aware of what it can do and wish that the instructions had been more comprehensive. I need someone to write a book "The Chambers CD Rom for Dummies".

Alongside this TEA is a constant companion. As I write a new version is being beta tested (I am not on commission.) Over the years I have found this to be an invaluable aid and I know that compilers make use of other products obtainable from the site. I refer to www.crosswordman.com: it is certainly worth a look and it could even change your life.
To my huge embarrassment the posting I thought I had not sent was sent. Many apologies - and now to find a stake on which to impale myself!
Thanks Deviant. I know how to do it, but the stumbling block is waiting for husband to source the photo I want from his multiple files!
Completed the grid but struggled with the theme. Thanks for the hints. Agree that we haven't seen the form of wordplay in 22 D used before.
