Ev Sunday Telegraph Enigmatic Variations 1076 Sunday June 23Rd 2013
18 Answers
Help! No EV on the Telegraph Crossword site or is it just me? Have they omitted the puzzle in the paper too? If they have printed one and anybody can scan and send it to me I would be very grateful. If I know it has been printed I can always go out to buy a copy but that's very annoying when I've already paid for it via subscription. What shall I do without my Sunday EV fix?

For those of you who keep obsessive track of my whereabouts at all times, I'll be missing the EV fun for the next two weeks as I will be trekking in Washington (state, not DC!).

This is Samuel's first puzzle as the new editor of EV-- I hope he doesn't mind me saying that. Anyway it's a cracker -- took a while to find the theme and was confused until then, but once that hurdle had been crossed everything came together very nicely.
A surprising grid, though -- I'm sure most other setters would have struggled to get away with a 4/10 and 5/11 level of unchecking in a word!

Christiana.
Similar worries, but for a different reason. I'm not sure my amended definition is a synonym for my solution. I think the AND in the wordplay is a one letter abbreviation much beloved of those naming shops, hairdressers etc and also often apostrophised. + a three letter word which means worry but can also mean dine. I'm also suffering on my amended definition for 25 across, where I'm placing a G by elimination from my thematic phrase (7,7).
