Thanks Korky. Wasn't there an uproar recently where answers were posted direct from another site without giving credit where due?

Yes, there was, and rightly so, in my opinion.

I personally think it's wrong and totally against the spirit of how things should be done

catmiaow,if you are copying and pasting the answers direct from another site have you asked permission from that site?

Any fool ,such as me:D,can find competiions in newspapers and across the web but to sit down and answer some of the wordsearches and Sudokhu type puzzles is not so easy.I think we should all respect these regular magazine comp posters and leave them to it and be glad of the correct answers.I'm sure that if one of them cannot post a regular comp they make alternative arrangements with anothr MSE'er that they are friendly with.I recall seeing posts to this effect on here myself.
To copy/paste the answers seems a bit unethical to me but to allow that copy/paste to be incorrect seems very sloppy to me.That's the advantage to actually having done the puzzle oneself isn't:D,at least one is sure of the answer.

Is no.13 correct Practise pilates? or should it be
practice?????

catmiaow

Excuse me I am not copying from anywhere, myself and also my grandmother do the answers separately and we have both come with the same, I put them on if the usual person doesn't to help people out, and I get a lot of abuse. So will leave the usual person to do it and if he don't, then tough! grrr

I wondered, but did a quick grammar check and the verb is to practise, with an 's'

the S coming from 22 down in the crossword & 34 across,

22 down clue - rub until shiny - poliSh
34 across clue - not hollow - Solid

I always remember being told years ago an easy way to remember which was which:

Practice is a noun (think of ending "ice" which is a noun) - piano practice
whereas
Practise is a verb - practise the piano
