I don't think farce is a strong enough word, we need to invent a new word to be able to describe this.

Dear Lionel

Could you please award me a point for politely pointing out that this clue is wrongly dated and was put up a tad prematurely.

Yours sincerely etc

Synonyms for a farce include travesty and a pratfall comedy.

2/3 of the posts have been abuse of some sort aimed at the GM and I.

You are a hard man at times Lionel. I can understand the reluctance to award a point but I thought you might have awarded a polite thank you.

Pardon me for asking: Is the dating error part of the enigma ?

On the assumption it is not, the answer is The Met Office.
