A royal now banished to Sandringham,
Who said other people were slandringham,
Is now an ex-Prince
Who failed to convince
King Charles Epstein hadn't been pandringham.

Received and enjoyed. Thanks!

On Sunday in the Toughie external used a Spoonerism of Hatemonger in a clue to read indicate Matehunger. I’m unhappy with this ‘bending of rules’. I find it’s happening too much.

Looks at calendar…..

Puck was Paul Facey-Hunter, sadly no longer with us (not named in the article)

Any sign of the Unch magazine?

‘Game licence’s not beginning to show discipline’ (7). Mr Connor in the Everyman. I’d bin the puzzle for ‘must’!

Maybe I’m just an old Ximenean fuddy-duddy, but I like my anagram indicators to tell me to do something.

You’ll never get forgiven for the definition at 1 across.

Feels like your mucky paws all over it. Have never, ever heard of 13ac.

Is that your Times today? Or someone trying to impersonate you?
