Tls

[mra1]

With regard to my earlier post querying the absence of the TLS crossword on the club site I received a reply from Mr Parfitt the Times puzzles editor explaining that there was a combined 2 week issue of the TLS last week but only one crossword alas

Thanks for getting to the bottom of that, mra: I'd kept popping back to the Times site in the hope of some vaguely literary entertainment. On reflection, it seems a bit peculiar, though -- one would have thought that to accommodate readers with extra bank holiday time and contributors wanting bank holiday off it would have made more sense for this week's to be the double issue and to skip next week's.
