"First come, first solved" had a touch of genius about it.

Oh dear! I am disappointed. I thought it was going to be something about a group of people who met in a café and solved a cryptic crossword together, say, once a week.  I was thinking I'd suggest such a thing to the local café, but it wasn't that at all. *sigh*

You can still suggest it though. Sounds like a plan to me.

Hi Susan,

We could do it here on a daisy chain basis. Someone could set a crossword clue, then the first person to solve it could set the next one and so on.

Any takers?

Here's the title of a lovely book by Sandy Balfour to get us started:

Pretty Girl in Crimson Rose ( 8 )

The Tech chap who fixes and orders things on my computer when necessary is going to find a cryptic crossword for me, copy and paste it on to an A4 doc, clues ditto, so that I can print them off and see if I can work on it on my CCTV.
