Does this annoy anyone else ?

It really annoys me that some crosswords have very short entry submission times. The worst at the moment is the News of the World which has to be in by Tuesday. When you live in the wilds of Cornwall like me there is no Sunday post and will a first class stamp get there in time? I never entirely trust the post at the best of times.

Winge over, best of luck to ABers.

one wonders if the NoW is getting a kickback from the mail people from the first-class stamps required to get the entries there on time. yes, it stinks.

I agree, it costs me a fortune in First Class stamps to send all Xwords off. With Real Life magazine I send it of by E-mail and I get a reply withine about 10minutes.

Good luck

Why don't you give that one up and do one with a longer entry date - eg Mail on Sunday Xwords don't have to be in till Friday.

Just a suggestion!

Even worse!The Mail newspaper has a 12 midday deadline for it's Sudoku entries! Wow,here in another part of Cornwall, we often do not receive our daily newspapers until after 12 midday!!!!

How can we tell the Editors that we too would like to enter/submit answers to their competitions?

Thanks all.

It seems very sort-sighted of NOW et al to have such short dates for entry as this must put off many people. Do papers sell addresses to mail order etc? If they do, the more they can generate the more money they can get, surely.

Iolanthe - I do all of the sunday Xwords I can - I am able to get them from works canteen late afternoon before the papers are chucked, then spend sunday evening doing them. But even if I was able to finish sunday morning there's no post to take the entries. This is why it annoys me (even if the Xwords are free to me).

cleverold - have a word with your paper boy/girl. Ours comes early, but he does then take a shortcut through our hedge to get next door - I caught him at it the other morning!
