I have not told you my clincher yet, Jazzgirl!
If I was allowed only one book/dictionary etc to help solve crosswords, it would be Bradford's Crossword Solver's Dictionary.
Not Chamber's or anything else.
Go for it!

And to convince you even further, Jazzy, I've recently bought a Bradfords for 1p (!), plus £2-80 postage, through Amazon.
It was classified as 'Very good condition' from the World of Books. Actually it doesn't even look as though it's been read! It's as new!!
It's a 7th edition - same as Rusty's.

Thanks Elle. I have been looking at PayPal, to see how it works. I only have debit card which I use online. Friends have PayPal but some have had their money frozen and it put me off a bit. I may wait until the new edition is published in October. I will have to use my brain and whatever books/online references I already use now. I am in the middle of e-mailing photos to Oz and hovering between this forum and my mail box !!

I don't have Paypal? but I use my Barclaycard (credit card) online as it seems safer? - never use my Debit card online!

I use PayPal with Amazon and eBay.
Hope this works!
