The runners-up are Thepoisonedgift’s sneaky “Display/hide broadcast for Taxi Driver?” and Croquem’s elegant “Master of the Rolls?”. There’s an audacity award for Rakali, who appears to have invented a new and unmanageable format: Reader, how would you clue PIVOT? Cluing competition It’s also one which is always best responded to by impersonating either Ross or Chandler in the Friends couch scene:
The new “going forward” is the partner of another term, which is the subject of our next challenge. Instead of the right thing (“You’re quite right, we are now irredeemably toxic”) we hear, ironically, “we are listening going forward”. These days, though, I hear it most often from the comms team of a scandal-addled institution. It was reasonable to hope that its overuse might mean it would fall from favour. In a slightly stabler world, it offered merely a way to pad a sentence with an unearned sense of purpose indeed, the Financial Times’ Lucy Kellaway thought it might have come from the Securities and Exchange Commission. “Going forward” is, to my ears, enjoying a revival. If your experience has been terrible, wretched or ridiculous, it will be ignored or – worse – will prompt some going-forwardism. When you hear these seven words in the real world, there is no point answering. The puzzle’s spine has the clue “How was your experience with us today? (1,6,2,5)”, a phrase that’s only acceptable in the context of someone messing about, as Starhorse is. I will say no more than that the level of fooling is extremely high.

Meanwhile, Beefeaters strike rarely but not never, an image evoked in this Telegraph clue …Ģd Strike illegally, putting crown jewels in danger? (3,5,3,4) … but the “putting inside” is indicated by “looking after”, the nurses are the Royal College of Nursing and the answer is URCHIN. Use “print preview” to make sure the puzzle still fits on the paper.From Bluth – known locally as Fed – a couple of clues acknowledging what’s going on in our hospitals, one referring to recession and another where I said to myself, “Oho, I won’t be fooled, ‘nurses’ surely means I’ll be putting one thing inside another” …ģd Union’s leader on nurses looking after heart of this poor child (6) Tip: If the puzzle still isn’t large enough for your older adult to easily see, you can make it bigger by changing the print settings. You might even want to print a few for yourself to enjoy!
