Crossword Puzzle - March 2014

Do you like crossword puzzles?

Well, you'll love this one!

I've decided to try something new this month. Normally, my crossword puzzles are released on the last Tuesday of every month, and the answers are released on the first Tuesday of the following month. The first person to send me the answers before then receives a mention on this blog.

Recently, though, I've begun thinking that a week is a bit too short to expect anyone to answer it in. Therefore, this month, you will have three whole weeks!

So print out this puzzle, solve it, and send me the answers via Facebook, Twitter, or Google Plus. The answers will be posted on Tuesday, 22 April 2014, and if yours are the first correct answers I receive before then, you'll be immortalised on this blog!

So without further ado, here it is. Have fun!
