Listener No 4558

A theme we've seen before I think and one I must revisit. A record time for me and there'll probably be faster ones. On the easy side - but why not? The weather's good and a relief after that spate of...

Listener No 4557

Either the thread is hiding again or I'm up here first, which I find a bit unlikely. Either I made a complete dog's dinner of this or it was quite difficult to sort out. Devotees might be on to this...

The Listener Crossword No 4554 Duck By Vismut

We have completed the satisfying gridfill and identified the work in question but are finding the endgame less than tractable. Not thinking about it for a while is probably a good idea....

Listener 4550. Moving Up &down By Ferret

Am I really first, or is the search playing up again? Fairly gentle from Ferret (for once), but only after solving one of the long Across clues. The displacements are disconcerting and a couple are...

Listener Crossword No. 4549 From Where I'm Standing By Emu

Listener No 4546 - Ripping Yarn By Nutmeg

A perfectly fine introductory Listener if a little too close to the Spectator genre. Thank you Nutmeg....

Listener Crossword 4540 Chalked Up By Nudd

Not a difficult grid fill and I had a good idea what I was looking for but it did take a little while to understand what exactly the four groups of omitted letters was about. Thanks to Nudd....

Listener 4539 Removal By Gos

I can't be the first, surely? I can't remember when I last sat in front of a Listener for so long with so little idea of what was going on. My first trawl through the clues produced virtually nothing...
