At the easier end of the spectrum of how I usually find proXimal, but still a definite Toughie. The Reverend Doctor Spooner makes an appearance again but I am getting less frightened of these clues now
We have a nicely balanced 14a 14d clues today with some lovely surfaces that tell a story whilst deceiving the solver I have hinted half but will offer a nudge for those clues that hit the cutting room floor
Here we go, Folks…

Mar 23 – I’m not sure when it happened, but Codewords No 1255 has now been updated, as usual it now has a completely different set of numbers.
It’s Saturday again, so it’s time for another edition of ScrewedUp News!!
If you try to access the Giant GK crossword No 12254 through the home page then, guess what? – yes, you get last week’s. You need to access it via one of the other pages, like “Play Puzzles”.
Also there are errors in GK Quick No 87 and Codewords No 1255:
