Ok times up, there is still a possible tie but I shall wait no longer , the deadline has passed.

Our little contest goes from strength to strength with another very good response this week.

The most popular clue this week was mattrom's brilliant #36

Pip, Dickens' ultimate character (5) ...classy.

Thanks to all taking part and commiserations to peterm for two runner=ups.

Two prizes

Congrats again mattrom.

Thanks BBM2, and for the clips. The first one was particularly interesting as there's a long (400m?) 19th century railway wall in our village made of closely-fitting stone blocks, all of different shapes and sizes. We were speculating only a couple of days ago how they were all fitted togther.

The other one reminded me of one of the first "It'll be alright on the night" clips - there's a fire at the Firestone tyre factory. The poor reporter just couldn't say it. I've only managed to find an audio, but I'm sure there was a video too:

Thanks for the like, Jono, and for the votes, Chrise and Rossim.

Good comp., BBM, and congratulations, mattrom. Re Pip and cast: my surname has been misspelled in various ways, but I've had more Havershams than Havishams. I wonder how many times I have recited H..A..B for bravo...finishing with O..N for November.
