Thanks anniec, thought I was losing my marbles as I was sure there were always lots of posts re these crosswords particularly EV. I don't have a LIFE section so wasted £2 as, like you, I only bought it for the puzzles.
And sometinme its tucked into other bits of the paper (its not broadsheet size) - its worth a search. Sometimes I think its a ploy to get you to read the rest of the paper!
