What have they done?
I opened the Sunday Telegraph today and the howl of outrage made my mates in the pub think I'd come across some new atrocity. Well, I had.
What has possessed the people at the ST to revise the crosswords so that one grid serves both the Cryptic and the General Knowledge puzzles? The clues are different, the answers are different, but I can't be the only one who'd like to solve each crossword separately. If they think I'm trotting back to the shop to buy a second paper so that I can do this, then they've another thought coming. I feel a letter coming on...
Angry of Douglas.

I must say too that as a cryptic crossword, it is much larger than the previous one - I hope it isn't any harder - I always found the Sunday cryptic much harder than the weekday ones.
Another alternative is to register through the internet with the Telegraph Crossword Society, as I must do, as a non-Briton. It costs 30 pounds a year.
You can then view each puzzle separately on screen and print each separately.
I would guess but am not certain that they would accept an entry on their own format.
I don't submit entries because I obviously don't meet the residency requirement.
