Thanks Katie for pointing out the omissions, and to Robi for filling them in. They are now added to the blog.

Thanks Everyman; I always enjoy these crosswords and look forward to the Jumbo. Thanks also to PeterO for a good blog with interesting pictures. Katie @6, I believe 18a is ORAL – (H)ORAL ‘when husband’s not there.’ 19a is ENGRAVE, which I think is just a dd (apologies if I’ve missed something!

Thank you. Everyman, for your greetings and for a steady supply of inventive and entertaining puzzles.I am sure we all wish you the best for Christmas, and a happy (not to say productive) New Year. In this puzzle, I had intended to vote SIR JOHN GIELGUD as COD (or should that be COW?), but it did not make the final draft.

Thanks Peter, and to Everyman for another immaculate puzzle. I’ll look forward to next Sunday, which I believe it’s my turn to blog.

Have a good Christmas.

Thanks Peter,

Another enjoyable Everyman with the usual immaculate clueing. I particularly liked CORDON BLEU (I was trying for ages to get an actual chef’s name), ELUCIDATE, ERSATZ (very well hidden) and SIR JOHN GEILGUD which was brilliant.

I don’t remember there being a jumbo Everyman last year. Is this something new or is my memory getting worse ?.

Thank you, Peter.

Enjoyable as always, with the one perhaps less well known person clearly signposted. I thought the SIR JOHN GIELGUD clue was very clever.

And thank you, Everyman, for your wishes and for the entertainment you have provided during 2010. Looking forward to the Boxing Day jumbo.

May I wish you all a very happy Christmas with the hope that 2011 is a good year for you.

There is a jumbo in next Sunday’s paper.
