Crossword WITHOUT A PRIZE!!!

Post by Ryan Taylor »

OK so here's a second crossword with a theme again. No prizes this time because I'm currently living off tinned beans.

Download grid and clues from here.

Send complete solution to my inbox (or as many correct answers that you have got). Solution will be posted Sunday 6th February 2011.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two people continued a 100% success rate with the crossword and they were firstly, Matt Bayfield and secondly Innis Carson. Grame Cole was a close third but was 6 clues short of a solve.

Answers to the grid can be downloaded from here.

I've got six clues left. No idea what the connection is.

Thanks for this Ryan, didn't get as many as the last one, still enjoyable though.

I enjoyed having a stab at this. I have little experience of cryptic crosswords and only managed about 7 answers.
