A little task to clear the head after the seasonal excesses – I give you the CVRDA craptic crossword.
All answers relate to things that have, at some point, been posted to the CVRDA forum.
Have a go at completing the crossword, the grid should print if you want it to. I couldn’t be bothered to code it up to make it interactive as there was a case of wine distracting me.
Hopefully not all the answers are not instantly Googleable or rely on attending a posh school.
There’s a bonus point if you can list all the classes mentioned in the quiz.
There is no prize, apart from a feeling of smug satisfaction if you get them all.
I’ll post the answers on New Years Day.
