EV 1034

Has anybody finished this? Got a full grid, the message and the four double defnition clues....and no idea what to do next. Found it tedious.

EV 1032: 12 Down

Hello EVers, I always chortle at the name of this week's compiler, but expect a tough work-out. This week was no exception! As ecpected, had to work on the periphery, then, sort of encroach onto 12d!...

EV 1028 Small Change by Piccadilly

18 across is not in Chambers 2011! Understandably setters may have used previous editions when compiling these crosswords but if the preamble goes to the trouble of mentioning that a place name is not...

EV 1027 Checkmate by Shark

An enjoyable puzzle but really once you have the grid fill and letters the highlighting is hardly a challenge. Would have been so much more fun without the across misprint letters.

EV 1026 - Going Global by Chalicea

Grid fill a little too straightforward for my liking but fair enough. Not entirely happy with the instruction though. Taken literally it doesn't seem quite right. Anybody else think this? I am...

EV 1025 13 Down by Kcit

Fun puzzle. Very clever to find 5 pairs of words that provide the thematic material in such an appropriate way. Huzzah for Kcit! Heading towards 102 today, so it's cooling off some ;( Still no rain in...

EV 1024 - Two Drifters by Nudd

Got there in the end after a muddled start and it all fell into place quickly at the finish. I enjoyed this puzzle and for me it had just the right amount of difficulty. I love EV Sundays!

EV 1023 Phoenix byRasputin

This puzzle was just the right degree of difficulty for me - some have been far too easy of late. Last few clues took a while before all fell into place. However there were four wrong word lengths -...

EV 1022 Protagonist by Salamanca

This was far too easy for EV standards. Finished before breakfast! So disappointed as I love to savour this puzzle until at least lunch time. At least it might serve to encourage newcomers I suppose....

EV 1021: Blown Off Course by Jaques

A rainy morning here in the West of Ireland, but I managed to get the last copy of the Telegraph, so was able to enjoy this excellent crossword - not the most difficult grid fill, but an entertaining...

EV 1020: Loss by Samuel

Hello everyone, I had a sinking feeling when I did the first pass through the clues looking for gifts! I found the clues hard, but fair in retrospect. Hopefully someone will confirm the answer lengths...

EV 1018: Self-Evident

I have nearly completed all the answers to the clues but I fail to see any connection between my answer to 1 down and the word locate. How to finish off the puzzle at the moment baffles me since it is...

EV 1017 Epilogue by Oxymoron

I rather muddled through this cleverly constructed puzzle guessing how down entries were entered before knowing how across entries were entered. However a couple of slapdash entries held me up for a...

EV 1016: Sentry Duties by MynoT

Hello EV N&Cers Started off by entering the answers to what I thought were quite easy clues, and ended up with an awful lot of clashes! Then the brain sort of marched into action. It became...

EV 1014 Two of a kind

Well it's done but not one of my favourites (although the theme is!) - I thought the seven were somewhat less than thematic.

Why is butter so expensive?

Fresh milk is very cheap in real terms, I pay £1.74 for 6 pints (29p a pint). So why is butter at its most expensive?...

EV 1013

Good fun and a clever grid - I have sorted the 10 letter one but the 11 letter one seems to have 3 possibilities for the highlighting none of which seems to me to be "roughly appropriate"

EV 1012 Drab Cops by Nudd

Hello N&Cers, took a long time for the PDM on this one, but well worth the wait, I thought. A very nice twist to the 12 clues. Thanks for the workout, Nudd.

EV 1011: Title by Piccadilly

I normally don't like this type of EV, where the lights and clues are not numbered, but the cluing was straightforward and grid entry similar. Except that the clue, "Cat, excited, close to...
