Listener 4072: The Isolated Word by Ten-Four

I am glad there was no dilemmas here (which was the case for me in "A New Year Message" 2008). As with all of the year's listeners so far, the grid was fairly easy easy to fill, but the construction again is very impressive, with no ambiguity (in fact it confirms a couple of answers). 30 down, the last to solve, I liked. Plenty of early anagrams to get newbies interested. Thanks Ten-Four

Thanks Gribble, I've got there now. Had the wrong definition in 23d. Just some counting to do now. Andrew

I've now finished it. But should I send it in considering the help I've had on this forum? I might have got there by myself but perhaps not. Andrew

Andrew, don't think anyone will object too much to you sending it in - where some people start to get hot under the collar is if someone is trying for an all correct submission for the year and using this forum to help. Don't know if you have visited the listener site (listenercrossword.com) but it is full of useful information, like for example the weekly entry is up to about 500-600 so you can decide whether it is worth buying a stamp!

Thanks for your thoughts Perseverer. I'm never going to be a 100% solver! I started in 1993 and eventually got to about 30 or so correct a year. However in 2007 I had a stroke which did not effect my ability to solve the Listener but did leave me with less of an obsession with it. As a result I only look at it occasionally now which, of course, means that I find it harder without the practice. I won a bottle of champagne in 2006, so I might be due another win. Andrew

All the best andrewc12, but the prize now isn't as good now. It's Chambers Crossword Dictionary. A useful book but I know which I would prefer!
I am still struggling with this 8 letter word so I don't think I will amongst the 500 competing against you. Although I am still trying...
