Well done - they are not easy! I find "Word Hippo"
is useful as a last resort for dealing with clues that look like they might be anagrams.

That sounds like a cryptic clue itself mike miller!

Occasionally completed it correctly (usually over several days) and sent in entry a few times , but never won a prize. Not attempted it recently though. Mainly used to fill it in on train journey to/from work.

Are you a 'tip the board when losing' kind of player Pocket?

I am pal.
I bought Park lane and my boy bought Mayfair so I wouldn’t carry on playing.😁

Yes I’m a perfect role model. 😂

i like the Really Nasty board games particularly at Xmas Pocket. The nasty horse race game can get very bitter after a few drinks. Also like games like Risk which can get very tense and nervy.

Never got into Monopoly because I could never work out when you had won. After a while it was just going round and round in circles.Did like the little counters though in it.

There are one or two good footy board games like Wembley though. When I bought the game some years back I was pleased to find the millers as one of the teams because they only play with about 32 teams I think. I've never won the cup with the millers though but did get em through to the semis once.
