Unless one uses terms from Ice hockey or other games we are not familiar with I suppose it fair. Gridman occasionally uses FITB from Eng literature with which I'm not at all conversant,(or have forgotten) and don't like these clues, but I think they are acceptable.Raghunathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17162552411714117166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-59530531096592087602014-09-24T16:30:55.355+05:302014-09-24T16:30:55.355+05:30Reached CBE at 3:30.

Hence so many cartoons. <br />Ram<br />As you know mistakes in signboards are all too common in our country. There are many newspapers that carry pics of blunders made by commercial establishments - mostly by tourists on conducted tours. These papers and those who take snaps of the mistakes ('snakes' for 'snacks', e.g.) don't realise that those who order the signs and those who paint them aren't much educated nor do they care for any nicety as long as they flaunt their wares and attract customers.<br />JYM, therefore, was just the cartoonist's way of laughing it off. <br />In another cartoon there might be a similar sly observation (I don't say 'comment') but everything is just for fun.<br />Chaturvasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00284780490945841507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-87336407179913586162014-09-24T11:51:11.034+05:302014-09-24T11:51:11.034+05:30
