Guardian Quiptic 1,178 – placeholder

Please take a minute to read this post: Help save The Independent Cryptic Crossword

Bonjour

This morning’s Guardian Quiptic is not yet available on the newspaper’s site – last week’s puzzle is still showing.  I will solve the crossword and write up a blog when someone at the paper realises it’s missing, but it might not be till later today as I have other commitments later this morning.
