i Cryptic Crossword 804 Monk

September 6, 2013

The original blog for this easy crossword by Monk is complete:

http://www.fifteensquared.net/2008/08/10/independent-6810/

Mostly sound and workmanlike clues (but what is the word ‘Short’ doing in 1ac?) 20ac is particularly nice: “When not to eat up my pork I pickled! (3,6)” – and more seasonal this time than when the puzzle first appeared on Aug 10 2008.

20ac was my favourite clue as well, and only a week early! It took me a while to get going with this, but when I did, everything fell swiftly into place…

  A rare example of a puzzle being more topical in the i than it originally was in the Indy.

‘Short’ note is, presumably, ‘So’ instead of ‘Sol’.
