The prompt for Mike to think about his best ever crossword clue was his brother-in-law’s use of ‘H I J K L M N 0’ (5 letters) as a bit of a party piece.

Mike’s penchant for puns and his enjoyment of the absurd led him to consider seriously the following contenders:

‘Fail to understand decimals correctly?’ (4, 3, 5)

‘Amundsen’s forwarding address’ (4)

‘Bar of Soap’ (6, 6)

Ultimately, however, nothing could eclipse the joyous simplicity of ‘Gegs’! (9, 4)
