Yes there are. I wouldn't advise using the inline version. I got a telling off from certain well known members for using it once!

I think the main problem with the inline spoiler is the lack of indication that it is a spoiler, it just looks like a smudge.

Oh, well done. But you are right, if that is the solution it is more of a Round Britain Quiz question than a puzzle (logic). I'll defend myself by saying I didn't know that at the time of posting!

You think I can remember where a smudge is in this forum? Not sure I can search for smudge.

Edit: I can. https://hummy.tv/forum/threads/coronavirus-lockdown-chat.9687/post-141063 + next few posts. Doesn't quite look like the telling off I remember it as.

A little bit, but not too difficult. Not my usual daily newspaper but got a paper copy whilst in Morrisons - so no copying out required.
