Best Fed Rat Intown

Regular readers will know that I finished last week on a cliffhanger.OK, as cliffhangers go, it wasn’t exactly up to your Stephen King suspense standards, the setting being me at my mum’s having a cup of tea. I’ll quote my mum’s words:

With that, my dad shook his head gravely and returned to his daily task of completely failing to finish his newspaper’s cryptic crossword. I think the main problem is his point blank refusal to believe that cryptic clues really are cryptic.
