Was the fluke winner of this!

Congratulations :)

Thanks. Won it once before, about 20 years ago (with help from my dear late mother-in-law), and the Crossword Editor told me they had about 9000 entries per Jumbo, which were all put on shelves in a small room kept for the purpose. So getting picked as winner is just a pure fluke, as I say.

Well done, Toffer!

Congratulations, Toffer - all those lovely reference books to browse through!

Many thanks. So far, though, two Times Atlases and two Bradford's Crossword Solver's Dictionaries! Something wrong with their system; but my grandsons would benefit from the Atlas. There was a retired brigadier in Cheltenham during my boyhood there who argued that small boys needed two particular skills as early as possible: swimming and map-reading.

Bradford's are excellent!

They certainly are.
