In my paper they repeated crossword No 1215, because as they stated "the
solution box slipped of the gridded, actually it was the crossword grid that was
only half printed. What I cannot understand is WHY different issues in the same
week have different crosswords. I cannot get a reply when I telephone, and
office has been closed on two occassions when I passed.
Ah well ~ at least I KNOW I won't win this weeks
Good luck.
