[John Whitworth]

I won twenty-five quid from the Spectator for my paracrostic 'The Wizards of Oz'. I've hardly won anything since the sad death of their old competition setter, the poet James Michie who called himself Jaspistos. I thought I'd lost my touch. Twenty-five quid buys a bottle of Grand Armagnac, and it will, I assure you.

[Duncan Gillies MacLaurin]

Well done, John!

Now have a go at my exercise here:

Congrats, John. A pub in the Spectator is really something.
