[davebro]

sorry - not guessable, you would have had to complete the xword.

[emmie]

oh ok

[Tilly2]

How did you mess it up? Didn't you use a pencil?

[davebro]

in ink I'm afraid

[Tilly2]

Aww. Good luck. Someone will help, eventually.

[davebro]

It's not too bad - few spots of tippex should fix it. still not sure about the "hidden" phrase tho'.

[davebro]

Next time work on a photocopy and transpose the solution.
One a normal week can work on screen with "Acrosslife" version then copy down.

[davebro]

Tidied it up & sent in by email - just waiting for the £250 cheque now! :))

It says "NB. Entries should be a list of answers to the clues, plus the shaded squares quotation" so it doesn't matter if you've messed up the grid.

[davebro]

It doesn't say that in the paper version (as mentioned on another thread).
