The cut-off point for casting votes has now passed, though paul, stevea6000 and ixion have yet to make their choice.

I am going to leave voting open for one more hour as it is possible, just possible, that the three outstanding votes could alter the overall result. 10.00 p.m. will mark the revised end of the extended voting period.

paul got his vote in whilst I was typing my previous message and his choice puts the result beyond all doubt, so please disregard my previous message.

Voting has now closed and I shall post the result presently.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the competition this week.

I think ginge is right, on reflection; this was not the most straightforward solution to define. Hopefully that made it quite a challenge and I trust it did not cause too many headaches. There were many fine entries among the twenty-seven which were submitted.

In total twelve votes were cast out of a possible fourteen.

The majority of these went to peterm @ 11 who is this week’s winner with a total of six votes for his superb effort:

Preserving with salt and French dressing? (7,6)

This would have been my choice as well, just by the by.

chrise @ 8 finishes an honourable second with two votes.

paul @ 4, aristophanes @ 6, mattrom @ 32 and stevea6000 @ 33 all made it onto the scoreboard with one vote each.

Many congratulations, peterm! Here is your prize. Hope you enjoy it.

Oops, I did miss the boat!

Congrats, peterm - good clue that took me a while to get, which is good. Excellent phrase for us to clue, heathcliff. And thanks for the vote, tatters.
