Yes Steve you’re right, I just checked there for some reason I hadn’t put a line through lettuce and it’s clearly there, hadn’t realised Walnuts was still not scored out. Could you change that please Deany xx
Hi Roy
I agree with all your answers except one. I don’t know if I am going mad but puzzle on page 30, your answer is Sphere. I cannot even find that word in the list. Please help …
Does anyone have the answers for bits and pieces page for September tab monthly please I make the answer theatre but can’t complete the grid. Many thanks
@Sally: How frustrating! Only other thing I can think of is a possible network issue. Try entering a comp on someone elses device (ie. smartphone) in your house (Using the same wifi connection). If you have the same problem, it could be your broadband provider, or/and the hardware (ie. cables, router etc). Most, if not all, have ‘troubleshooters’ (ie. Virgin Media etc), online to check. You may have to create an account if you haven’t already. Also maybe disconnect the router, unplugging, waiting a bit, then reconnect. Failing that, use your device on someone elses broadband (ie. A friends house).
