    I don’t do the FT crossword very often so please don’t regard my choices as statistically significant.

    Clue – 30.1.13 14,244, MONK, 5D, Fantastic !

    Paul8hours chose an indeed a very good Redshank puzzle as his favourite, but for me the winner was:
    Alberich – 3 January 2013 – FT 14,201

    There will come a day that I will vote for a Bradman, because I really do like The Don’s puzzles (in all of his disguises). His crosswords are consistently good (in the same way as Dac produces high quality puzzles for the Indy), but it’s hard to single out one of his puzzles as being one that stands out.

    Clue of the Month?
    “As good as me? (4,2,4)”
    Loroso – 17 January 2013 – FT 14,214 – 15down
    What a great clue!

    There are lots of puzzles here of a very high standard, but I’m not really so organized that I note down favourites, whether puzzles or clues. Suffice to say, whenever I see that the setter is Bradman or Neo I am a very happy bunny.
