Hi Dutchy
Your Cryptic 135 is our Cryptic 240, so are you ahead of us or behind us. Time wise circa 12 hours, ahead. Publication wise Lovatt's moved some dates.
It was a good Cryptic, just about finished The Stinker, putting pen to paper, before putting the brain in gear, results in a few whiteouts.
I enjoy your post's, another souce of learning.

Hi James.
Thank you for your kind words. Lovatts seem to alter the puzzles sometimes as I see questions from your part of the world that don't appear in our puzzles. I love doing my puzzles to keep the grey matter from stagnating. Happy puzzling and good luck.
Dutchy.
