Finding the Telegraph too expensive and its crossword too easy for my taste I am still getting the Times. Perforce. On Wednesday we had a clue whose solution was "DUNNO". I could not believe I had the right answer and puzzled for ages over this. However on checking the answers the following day the sad truth was confirmed. They are now using common vernacular in the Times crossword. The Editor needs to be reminded that he works for The Times, not the Mudlarks' Gazette.
