Arrgh! It was only a few months ago it fell from �500 to �250.

Given that it costs �17.68 to post it off annually by first class post. it hardly seems worthwhile entering!

Hadn't noticed. Thanks for drawing attention to it. Hardly worth the expense of a 1st class stamp each week. They shouldn't be hard up as the cost of the paper went up a few weeks ago, again.

Perhaps we should all include a note of protest with our Herculis entries! Can someone please tell me the answer to 30 down? Sharp pointed stick for driving cattle G ? I ? I thought it was prod until someone mentioned GURU for 30 across.

30 d is goad.

maddmattocks

I did see the prize money and thought that it had reduced. You would think that the Telegraph wouldn't be so petty about the prize but I suppose many standards are dropping.
P.S
For 30d I did put GURU

maddmattocks

Sorry, no, I did put GOAD after reviewing.

cheshunt

Many thanks for GOAD, I spelt barnacle incorrectly.

Good idea Cheshunt - I'll add a note to my entry saying it could well be the last time I enter!

I wonder if it's a printing mistake and someone has left out the "2" by mistake. Has anyone noticed that the last four Sunday Express Magazine �1000 crossword have all had the same puzzle number?

don't think it is worth adding a note as they only open 1 until thye get a correct crossword. Really do not think they open all the entries. So the chance of them seeing mine is as remote as winning

I suppose we are all having to pay for Conrad Black's excesses; it's either that or one less executive lunch for the Torygraph editor per week.

novalis

In a similar vein, the three Sunday Telegraph crosswords now each have only one prize per week. That has been the case for about year now, certainly with EV.

I usually send this crossword off each week but in view of the Telegraphs meaness will no longer be sending off.
