Would it be rude to ask - What on earth are you doing a twelve year old crossword for ?

[Muffet]

Hi, LottieAnne. You obviously have a busy life. I haven't got round to last March's Saga crossword yet, so you're not alone.

[LottieAnne]

Thanks everyone. 10ac now has the letters c - r - c - a - e. The reason I am doing these old crosswords is because a friend of mine has recently bought a book which has one crossword from every year that the Times has been publishing them. Every week he gives me one to do but as you have no doubt realised I need help with some of them.
I think 10ac is corncrake. I have just seen it!
