OK paul - it gives the first letter of the numeric name for carbon chains - meth, eth, prop, but. etc.

Granama #8 for me. I loved Jono’s #12 though, just a whisker in it.

OK, I'll wind it up (sorry again, faiton!)
With one vote outstanding, granama1 has one vote for 11 and two votes for 8; jono has one vote for 1, and one for 13, but five votes for 12;
He comes second here (8,5)
Your (much anticipated) prize is the great Tom Lehrer:

(For the record, my favourite was jono @13 - I thought it was hilarious!)

Congratulations, Jono. Thanks for hosting, Chrise.

Thanks for the mention, Tyke51, much appreciated.

Wow! Thanks everyone, really enjoying these setting challenges. Great creativity all round. Thanks Chris for hosting this one. Love the Tom Lehrer link, reminds me of Poisoning Pigeons in the Park, in which he rhymes ‘pigeon’ with ‘smidgeon‘ ... which appears in today’s Everyman!
As someone who literally cracked a rib this week (true story), expect a humorous challenge next weekend 😉
Have a good week!

Well done Jono - richly deserved win! Thanks for a good comp Chrise - appreciate the mention Granama.

Congrats Jono. A veritable cornucopia of great clues. Thanks to Chris for hosting (yes, I guessed right!).
Thanks to Jono, Spike, Richard for the votes and Tyke and PaulH for the likes.
Ooh...it's like the Oscars!

Well done Jono.
That clue would have had my vote if I'd had time to post one myself!

I’m thinking cat pie stew might be better than cat pie recipe, though I know Chris has a cat so apologies for the imagery 😬
