First time I've ever asked! This week's EV: 15ac One regularly turned round by the car port (4). I have T-RE. One is I or A. Regularly turned is TRE. So either TIRE or TARE. But car port??? Is it me?

No, I'm not a national newspaper compiler. Until a couple of years back I set crosswords for three of those glossy county magazines that you see in Smiths (though few people seem to buy - apart from dentists for their waiting rooms?). They were general cryptics with a county-thematic element. Unfortunately the publishing group eventually decided to centralise everything for economic reasons - but I think my puzzles had probably run their course anyway.
Now I just create crosswords whenever anyone wants one - for inhouse magazines, theatre programmes etc. or for friends at Christmas and birthdays. I set either under my real name or the pseudonym Cliew (pronounced clue!). Quizmonkey's just my board name (due to something of a chimp fixation) and has no link to the Guardian compiler!
Cheers.

Thanks for that!
I used to set crosswords for a free paper for the local area called "Pubscene". I always fancied going under the Pseudonym "Jigsaw"- but never did!
Now I only set them for friends when asked. The most unusual request was for a memorial gathering for someone who had not been particularly regilious but had enjoyed doing crosswords right up to the last!
They had a break in the "service" for ten minutes to do my crossword!
There were starred squares, the letters of which formed an anagram of her name!
Regards
