Daily Mail Prize Crossword Monday May 16Th 2016

What do you think of the new DM online format?
I'd like the fact that you can now go landscape if it wasn't so small on a 7" tablet. Must be hell on a 'phone. Pity they don't seem to have changed the predictive cursor, it always drives me crazy.

I don't think it is really any improvement, far better they concentrate on getting the Sunday You to accept entries.

Or maybe employing a puzzle setter who can spell

Can you post a link to the on-line Mail crossword? I've been on the Mail website and searched for the crossword but to no avail. TIA.

[dannyk13]

That too

[dannyk13]

Michael, you have to be a subscriber to Mail Plus.

[CrapAtCryptics]

Its £9.99 a month - the papers cost about £14 and your first month is free. You dont get reward numbers but you do get to swear at the typesetter a lot.

[dannyk13]

Plus entering on line saves money on postage.

Never done it on-line. Happy to buy a paper. :-)

[CrapAtCryptics]

PS It works abroad so you get it the same time as the Uk.

Thanks for the info, guys. I get mine free every day at the local Waitrose. They've had a promotion for ages now that allows you to pick a free newspaper if you spend over £5 and you have a personal 'MyWaitrose' card. I also use my wife's card to get a free Telegraph most days. Cheapskate, or what?

[dannyk13]

Sensible methinks.

[retrocop]

That's an expensive daily paper michael but a nice drop of Rioja whilst you do the crossword is always pleasant. :-)

[michaelmph]

Yes, retro, I usually buy a bole of wine to cover the £5. A nice chilled New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc is my current favourite. Trouble is, it goes down too easily in the warm weather - a bit like drinking lemonade. So I have to watch it....

[geordieviking]

Mark, totally agree about the Sunday You. Often wonder if the compiler / typesetters for the DM have English as their first language.
