Thanks, Brendan. There's been a fair bit of grumbling - every week - on fifteensquared. I thought last week's puzzle was shoddier than this.


That was interesting about the numbers stuff - the more people involved, the lower the chance of something being reported. I'd definitely contact the editor if it was one of my regular, favourite puzzles.

Hi Brendan,
I have taken your words on board and complained to the crossword editor. Something needs to change - I think a number of people will stop taking the Observer as this crossword is something of a tradition.

Hi Jertax, then i shall do the same. That said, I'm not sure if I should contact the Guardian or the Observer. Either way, I can't see a specific address for a crossword editor, so I shall just address it FAO and send it to the editor.

Try this, Brendan

I think that perhaps we should contact The Observer about the Everyman?

From the above link, I found this email address
Letters to the editor: observer.letters@observer.co.uk

Thanks Elle, I will use that address. I had checked all The Guardian editorial departments and desks and there seems to be every section, business, education, environment, books, film, law etc. - basically everything except crosswords! The Observer list is somewhat smaller, but again, no crossword desk so, like I said, I'll use the address you've given and contact the editor.

Hi!
1d. Roughly around one, easiest for me
Anag. EASIEST + I

13a. Most of haggis cooked as dinner, English put out
Anag. AS DINNER with E removed - what parts of the animal are used in haggis?

7d. Blasphemous in its origin, Brit’s exclamation of surprise
B followed by the US slang for a Brit.
