Thanks Toni, it feels like Friday anyway, I've amended OP
I've emailed them asking if there is a list of winners and why I wasn't on the leader board yesterday.

Everyone's missing you Toni and all the comps you find. When u coming back full time?

This was my email from them for yesterdays comp.

Thank you Gilla01 for taking part in The First Post World's Fastest Crossword number 573.
Your time was 5.424 seconds which means you were in position 10.
You may be interested to know that the fastest time was 3.143 seconds and the slowest was 29.692 seconds.

That's weird. I just looked at my post a few above, and my time was 4.309. The times on my email seem to be completely different to those on yours, Bob.

My time was 3.477 today. At the moment I'm in the lead.

Can't see toniq on there, or you.

do u reckon by xmas , if they ever pull their finger out we will end up with about ten crates of mini bottles each!!!!!! ( yeah right!!!) xxx

I am selrach1947 and am showing in 5th place today.

My e-mail from yesterday's comp says "[FONT=rial,]Thank you selrach1947 for taking part in The First Post World's Fastest Crossword number 574.

You may be interested to know that the fastest time was 3.226 seconds and the slowest was 13.873 seconds."
Neither the supposed fastest nor my 2nd fastest show on their leader board but the slowest time is as shown on the leader board.

The times you quote, Gilla, would seem to be for a different day altogether.
