Big Dave’s at the monthly village market and Tilsit has major broadband problems not of his own making – unless of course he was the one who set the ‘box over the road’ on fire. So the fifth cavalry has hurriedly bashed out a few hints. I’m sure people will ask for more assistance, but have a good look at the clues and you may find them more straightforward than you thought on first reading

Greetings from Warrington.
Had a lovely day yesterday celebrating the 40th anniversary of the first puzzle by our very own Elgar. A small group of us gathered at a very nice pub-restaurant in York and toasted Mr H’s achievement. Yesterday’s post does give you a chance to tackle that first puzzle, set when he was a mere stripling at the age of 15. There is a picture of the gathering in there as well and I feel sure a certain other lady will share some too.
It’s the last Saturday, and the boss is off to market, so I’m here to guide you with some hints for today’s challenge. If pressed, I would guess today’s puzzle is by our long-standing Mysteron. Some lovely penny-drop moments, and just about the right level of difficulty for a Saturday puzzle. Lots of favourite clues to make you smile and overall, a good workout. The grid is slightly less helpful as there is only one entry into each section. I have provided a hint to each of those.

Morning everyone
The Boss has gone off to the local market and left me looking after today’s prize puzzle. This was a bit more challenging than some of the recent Saturday offerings, but was very enjoyable. I found the top half seemed to go in quite normally and then the lower half presented a few things to think about.
Thank you to the setter. If you are scratching around for things to do, you may like to go and find today’s Financial Times where Rosa Klebb has produced a rather fine and witty puzzle.
