If camembert cost about £200 per kilo and had the reputation that you lost weight after eating it, it would become highly sought after and anyone who bought it would certainly lose weight.
Otherwise they wouldn’t be getting their money’s worth.

Cyclops 820 – 2025 Xmas Special
And so this is Christmas, and what have you solved?…another year over, a new Cyclops Xmas jumbo special just begun…
Private Eye (Cyclops / 819) *Redacted redacted*
I normally make a headline for the Eye blog using a couple of the answers from the puzzle but I have redacted them this time.
Not because they are tremendously rude – it’s an Eye puzzle so anything may appear – but because some of you reading this might not have tackled the puzzle yet. You might not have realised the current issue very unusually is only for 1 week instead of the usual fortnight.
If so, go away and try this puzzle before coming back here. Link https://www.private-eye.co.uk/crossword
Cyclops 818 – Old-guard Taxability
Cyclops has a swipe at all corners of the political spectrum this fortnight, and also finds time for a little self-reflection…
Private Eye (Cyclops / 817) Economic Sponsorship
Like many Eye crosswords of late I found this one no walk-over.
Private Eye (Cyclops/815) Rabid Hobnob
I must have been having a bad solving day. It took three goes at the puzzle to finish.
Cyclops 814 – Apoplectic Diplomat
Do not adjust your sets! Due to an administrative and logistical c0ck-up I forgot to blog Eye 813, for which my abject apologies, but beermagnet kindly filled in for me, to whom my eternal thanks, and I am now on even-numbered puzzles – at least until the Christmas Special messes around with our schedule…
Private Eye (Cyclops 813) Lethal Shame
Better late than never
Private Eye (Cyclops/812) Turbulent David
Another bit o’ fun from Cyclops.
Cyclops 811 – Wellness Mantra
We all need a bit of wellness in our lives, and where better to start than with a Cyclops puzzle…they should be available on the NHS…
Private Eye (Cyclops/810) Big? A Bit Much.
Cyclops still on puerile form with an Eye puzzle I found on the hard side this time.
Private Eye (Cyclops / 808) Addled Insomniac
A bit of crudeness and a couple of references to the orange one. Yes, this is an Eye puzzle.
Cyclops 807 – Indecent Hairdo
Cyclops being Cyclops…with some political satire, risqué surface readings and punning definitions…but lighter than usual on the skoolboy smuttery…
