Daily Telegraph GK 16 September 2006
7 Answers
This is from Mike Mepham:
Dear Reader,
This week, September 16, see a mis-spelling of the current US Vice President's name: CHENEY has erroneously been provided with an extra letter. Once again, the solution will be voided and entries without that solution or entries with CHE?NEY will be accepted.
September 2
Another error in the GK Crossword of September 2 has meant that the final Down clue is missing. While I'm sure that you guessed already, the clue is:
44 Of unknown authorship (4)
...easy enough when you know what it is. The clue will be null and void for the purposes of the competition, so entries without that solution will be accepted.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Thanks to MM for his explanation. What he did not mention was that when these crosswords were originally published a couple of years ago they had the answers wrong then and have not even bothered to make a correction on the reprint. The last four weeks at least have been reprints. could we now have some originals as the price of the DT has gone up.
