Quiet journalist in new influential legal decision

I assume then that URE is the name of a river?

ten = figure, ure = river

Could that be PRECEDENT?

The D in the clue might be an E if I spelt Receed/recede wrong lol

ure right , up here in the north i think

good shout , recent's in there which could be 'new'. 'ed' for editor?

Quiet journalist in new influential legal decision

P = quiet. journalist = ed. new = recent. ed inside recent = precedent.

Yeah I spelt recede wrong.. thanks guys, I'm Finnish.

yes, recent with ed in

pass on the P !

p is Piano.. musical notation for quiet

so the 2nd half of clue just confirms your answer sort of thing

p always means quiet - thnk it might be a musical term. pianissimo?

yep = influential legal decison is a precedent.

always a cryptic bit and a straight bit to every (i think) clue.

Otherwise would be very very hard

ok ta

quiet can also mean "sh" or "mum"

just a found a site for telegraph crossword afficionado's...

Link please Ducky

toast

http://bigdave44.com/2009/12/01/dt-26100/

got past crosswords on RHS too . i'll be a pro by tonight! lol

I hate to admit it, but the telegraph is prob the easiest of the major ones. Times harder and the Guardian even harder and the Independent the hardest of the lot.

that's superb.
Eggcellent
sorry.

I agree.

lol with you positively4thsteet

Yeah Indo's a **ker
Express is good for getting used to how they work.. I'd say I could finish it 1/3 of the time, and normally get to within 3 or 4 clues of finishing.
With the Telegraph I probably get half-way on average.. very ocasionally finish it.
The others, I'd be happy getting 10 answers

TElegraph now has a "toughie" which is a step up I suppose, but I still generally speaking know what the gist of the clue is, but don't know the actual word or the references - a bit more historical detail or stuff about operas and that which I haven't a clue on.

Guardian/Independent are just different gravy. I haven't a clue what they're on about. perhaps I need a tutor.

Sparky - which crosswords do you do?

I don't get papers any more but used to do the guardian. Their just a little more twisted than the telegraph and times, you can really find yourself SEETHING when you finally get one, as it's so obvious...and yet not so! The Telegrpah at times seems like it's been done by a computer.

I know what you mean sparky. One day I might "step up" to the guardian or at least the times. Trouble is I hate the papers themselves - but the telegraph has the best sports coverage.

You can do the Independent interactively online...here
