 OK, there are a couple of numbering errors in my crossword. :oops: Sorry about that. They shouldn't get in the way too much. :lol:
They are very minor - and obvious. So no problem! I am still working through some of the ambiguities to find all the words, but hopefully nearly there...

Gosh, a great puzzle! :D

Very complex at times but ultimately very satisfying. I did have a few helpful nudges along the way (thanks!). Who would have thought a lightbulb moment would come while half watching Question time on TV last night! :lol:

June's offering! If you need hints, you just have to ask. :) EDIT The final Spanish lesson should have been 3:30 - sorry! AAARGH 3:50

Hint: read the message very carefully. One very helpful word in particular...
You will also need to find the theme.

Note errata on puzzle thread.

Oh...Kay. Maybe it isn't so clear what the theme is? How about I add...
The Spanish member of staff had previously suggested the Language School could be called "Búho Verde", But the others didn't think it would catch on.

So, it seems this was just impossible. So I have taken out the whole painful "what is this about?" research and added "Meet the Staff", which should help massively.

Well, it might have helped if I hadn't changed the timetable correctly and written the wrong number in the errata! Sorry, again.

One day someone will post a puzzle on here that doesn't require errata. Then the world will end. :lol:

I thought I had checked things SO carefully, too! Absolutely no hope.

Thank you! (I think)

I am pleased to say that both Scurra and Sparkout found the answer to my June puzzle - sorry - it definitely didn't have enough info to begin with! :oops:

Oops, I thought that I had the answer but have just realised that actually I have at least one stage still to go :oops:

On the plus side, I have one word in the crossword. :D
