If weekend reviews had subtitles, the review of the puzzle for Sunday 20 May would be ‘the one where we had to go out and buy a paper’ as the online system was not working for most of the morning. Well worth a trip to the paper shop or we would have missed another splendid crossword from Virgilius.
