Bob Gregory's Home Page

Cullen is the setter's nom de plume under which I set cryptic (British style) crosswords for a broad spread of magazines, periodicals and newspapers.

We specialise in setting cryptic clues compiled to reflect the theme of the underlying interest of the publication which carries the puzzle.

This site will carry a new monthly cryptic crossword which will alternate between standard 15 x 15, 27 x 27 or 21 x 21 Jumbos and various sizes of barred grids. Solutions will be available with each puzzle.

We work and have worked for many clients, amongst them The Open University "Sesame", The British Library, Saga Magazine, The Jewish Chronicle, RAF News, The Career Teacher, The Estate Agent, Profile, Verbatim, The Bookdealer, NASUWT, Antiquarian Book Monthly, The Kennel Gazette, Dog World, Locomotive Journal, British Orthopaedic News, Scottish & Newcastle, Farming Weekly, Cape News and many others syndicated in newspapers.

We welcome enquiries from editors who are considering running crossword puzzles in their own publications. Please e-mail me at bobg@cullencrosswords.com

Travel

Travel is always interesting and in 2001 Marian and I fulfilled a long-held hope to drive the wonderful Karakoram Highway from Kashgar in China to Islamabad in Pakistan. In case anyone is interested in the story of this fascinating trip, the URL follows.
