The fascinating history of language! I still like the "clogs in the machine" story, though.

Thanks to all who contributed this week, 23 clues from 13 setters.
I particularly liked paul's 'bot' #4, malcolm's acrostic #12, skyewalker #15 &16, ginge #26, tyke#35.
I've given the silver medal to ginge's masterful &lit. #23
This week's winner is tatters' (or tatters's?) topical acrostic #19

Treachery of left-wingers squealing after Boris offered them a general election?

Well done, tatters. Your prize fits the clue, but I'm not advocating it;

Loved the clue Tatters - thanks for the challenge Mattrom ... and the mention.

None of the parties, apart from the SNP, want an election - I`m thinking of writing `Guido Fawkes` on my next ballot paper.

Very nice Tatters - I didn’t get it at all until Mattrom pointed out it was an acrostic! Very well hidden!

Thanks fir setting Mattrom, great clip, and glad you liked my offering.
