I think I should have to take a year-long class on how to solve a cryptic crossword. I'm SO impressed that you and Ms. Becks are keen and skilled on/in them. Hat's off to you!
I love this. One might also describe the cryptic crossword as how a child might learn English. A six year old would be a helpful assistant as they would see the forge in forget or the flow in flower.
I love this Terry. You have given us super-helpful insights. No wonder I couldn't solve them. I had no idea what anything meant. I HAVE seen summer, butter and adder in standard puzzles, though. How about "nightlight rude gesture": m _ _ _
Thanks, Sharron. I thought of you while I was writing it! Glad it helped. I expect you to solve the two clues I have lined up for inclusion in my next letter to @Rebecca Holden <snigger>

Thanks, Mary. A year? You just need three things: one of those books, or similar; practice; and a warped mind. cHortle
