Received and enjoyed. Thanks!
On Sunday in the Toughie external used a Spoonerism of Hatemonger in a clue to read indicate Matehunger. I’m unhappy with this ‘bending of rules’. I find it’s happening too much.
Looks at calendar…..
Puck was Paul Facey-Hunter, sadly no longer with us (not named in the article)
Any sign of the Unch magazine?
