Cryptic #21: London England

 My Twenty-First Crossword

Hello!

As you may or may not have seen, this Tuesday I visited every London borough.

Here is a LARGE cryptic crossword (21 squares by 21 squares) to commemorate that feat. This is my first one larger than 15 by 15, so be nice.

For the non-London-nerds amongst you, I will permit your looking up of a list of London boroughs, as you probably don't know them all. (Who on earth has heard of Havering? Or Bexley? Seriously.) 

Thanks to Jack for test solving, and for having a stroke of genius on 66-across. 

Cryptic #22 is already clued, and set for release in a week and a bit... but I digress.

Have fun!

Cryptic #37: How Time Flies

My Thirty-Seventh Crossword Hello.  Sorry for the lack of output - despite my best efforts, I still often face a lot of work. Anyway, this puzzle is dedicated to a few wonderful people, and one solid gold legend in particular, without whom I'd not be nearly as into cryptics as I am now, and I wouldn't know so many of the aforementioned wonderful people. To this community, and its founder in particular, thank you. (The bloke in question is based  here  and here .) Have fun! - GAIS, 12/11/22

Cryptic #34: A Dish Best Served Lukewarm

My Thirty-Fourth Crossword No, it's not mashed potatoes. It's another GAIS crossword. As 34 is not a multiple of 3, this crossword doesn't have a theme that requires you to change clues or answers. But it does have a gimmick which I think is very fun, and for which others will probably start to hate me. Otherwise, I'm very proud of some of the clues here. They were a lot of fun to put together. And aside from the, erm, schtick, I don't think they're terribly difficult, as they have been in other recent grids. Thank you to Jack Keynes for test-solving. Next Friday is a special day, and in commemoration, I will have a crossword out on MyCrossword : the best grid I've ever written, according to Mental Playground, so watch that space.   Have fun! - GAIS, 09/04/22
