The Times Crossword

Post by Old Hob »

I delayed posting this until today to avoid giving a spoiler, but I was amused by yesterday's "Times" crossword to discover that "Leicester cop" is an anagram of "secret police"

Yes, Leicester's own Stasi, we weren't meant to know of their existence!

Been struggling to find an anagram for RICHARD COCKERILL. The best I can come up with so far is: HARD ROCK RELIC (IRL). I'm sure someone can do better! :smt017

I remember a great cryptic clue in The Times a few years ago. Eight letters. Head of the miners' union. Any thoughts?

If he sussed out a particularly tedious training routine, we could go with I CRACK DRILL CHORE.

How about "Cracked rich or ill" or "A chic drill rocker"
