Thanks, Brian. I'm glad you agree. As I said, I never make any reference to winners on a new thread for The Oldie or Literary Review, thereby avoiding the confusion you mention.

I'm known for my common sense and logic (that's in addition to my dumb blonde moments!)

It is well known that the Staggers is rather po-faced. A number of our entries were, frankly, a bit rude. Serve us right. We should all wash our mouths out with soap.

John,

I was just suggesting that we confine comments about an old comp to the results thread, not the one for the next competition.

I'm putting a ruler in my bag, in case I need to rap you over the knuckles with it tomorrow!

To suggest that Michael Gove can ever be explained, rather than condemned, is insensate and, frankly, bizarre.
