These people had the best reaction to today's missing Farming crossword clues

Every cloud has a silver lining, right?

Today the clues to a crossword featured in our Farming supplement didn't make it to the page due to a technical fault. (NOTE: you can find those clues online here)

Despite the initial chaos and mayhem, poeple began to look at the bright side - they could crack a few jokes about it.

Some of our readers thought it might be a literary inspired crossword - today is Charlotte Bronte's 200th birthday after all

Today's #Farming crossword in @irishexaminer would appear to have been set by Beckett and Kafka....

Some decided to play anyway and guess both the clues and the answers. It was a hit.

A great day was had by all - except our poor Farming staff, who are currently wrestling with some gremlins who got into the editorial system.
