This can't be the vaunted Times crossword--it seems way too easy!  Or 
do they get harder as the week goes on, as in the NY Times?  I also 
thought British crosswords were all cryptics (that's what we call the 
ones with the puns and anagrams in the US).

Still, I'm impressed by your doing it in pen.

Aha, that British use of "cheers."  That explains:  "'Well, yeh 
might've bent a few rules, Harry, bu' yeh're all righ' really, aren' 
you?' 'Cheers, Hagrid,' said Harry, grinning."
