| Nice one, MarcM - but I don't think you need to state the first word is 'a' or 'the' in the teaser body; maybe in a hint would be better. |

| I am no good at Anagrams.
I got the bonuse & 2 others
It was written really well, when I
saw the answers it made sense.
Except I think the or a really were
the same in the answers.
"The Steward" "A Steward"
same difference.
I still APPLAUD you for coming up
with these questions.
I could never write that type of teaser.  |

| Sorry my example was wrong.
"A pharmacist or The pharmacist"
I don't see a difference there.
Just an observation. Keep up
the good work!  |

| 2ndhandrose: It makes a difference because the letters "a" or "the" occur in the clue. You can't have it both ways.
This was a good teaser, but I agree that it was a bit long. It could have been two teasers. |
