My earliest memory of doing a crossword was sitting in a bench shelter on Hastings sea front with my dad. After that there was quite a gap until I started dabbling with the Sunday Times cryptic about 20 years ago. Back then my best time for completion could (only) be measured in days. Thankfully a bit better these days.
