[petal54]

I know am behind the times,just noticed that Brian(express answers) passed away a few days ago

Yes, I just looked on his site petal.Such a nice man and one of my oldest AB buddies in Q&P .RIP Brian.

I knew that Brian Talbot published his answers to Daily Express (and other) crosswords on his website but, until seeing Shaney's post above, I'd never realised that he was a member of AB.

A bit of searching has led to me to his profile though and, given his reputation for helpfulness, I'm unsurprised to see that he posted far more answers than questions:

Although I never really knew him, I'm sure that he'll be greatly missed by many crossword fans.

I am another puzzler who regularly visited his site for help with the 3 Sunday Express puzzles.
