It looks as if the Financial Times has not been published today because Christmas Day fell on a Sunday which means both 26 and 27 December are Bank Holidays in the UK this year.
There certainly isn’t a crossword on line and two newsagents in the Scottish Borders have told me that their delivery notes have NP [not printed/published] against the Financial Times.
If there are printed copies in the London area can someone let me know please.
Update [18:44]: I note that a crossword has now appeared on the FT website dated 27 December. It’s a prize puzzle so it won’t be blogged today
Hi Duncan
I have just tried the link from ft.com to Today’s Newspaper and it is still showing Saturday 24 December. At least the Saturday puzzles are now up.
It seems that the paper wasn’t published on December 27 but the crossword was – on the website; this may be a first in newspaper history….! In retrospect it would have been better if someone had told me about non-publication. As it is we’ll have the fewest entries ever; and the biggest chance of winning!
Apologies.
There’ll be a blog on Thursday morning – it’s written and ready to go.
Perhaps I should have entered.
