    No it's very rare I get spam messages or calls to my mobile after entering a comp. You can opt out of most marketing calls by texting 'no info' at the end of your text. Although I have never done this but hardly had any!
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!

    oddies, should both of the above TAB comps start MCB3?

    One is Mini Crossword, One is Mini Code Breakers. I assume MCB stands for Mini Code Breakers, but should Mini Crossword have the same code?

    Thanks
