Thanks, BBM2, for post 30 and...
🧼Thanks to the 11 of you who contributed 24 clues this week.

Chrise kicked the ball off with a double definition.
There were 2 great acrostics from jono 15 and buddy 19, and composites from FJ 4 & 5.
I liked dorrien's 'vanity' #13, buddy's 'treacle' and 'flannel' # 11 & 12, BBM2's 'eyewash' 22, aristo and peterm's bar flirtation #16 &18. Clever anagrams from jono 6, paul 10, jimmy 24.

Runners up are buddy 11, paulh 17, aristo 26.
This week's winner is the clever one that most made me smile, jono's 6 (I agree with 4,4)

Fatso goes wild in soggy bread and butter

Well done, jono, here are your prizes

Well done Jon - I thought your clue was excellent so there was no point in me trying to do another fatso one. I also thought Buddy 12 was a contender with his bathroom routine.
Cheers Mattrom, and thanks for the like.

Happy Birthday when sung is supposed to last 20 seconds - maybe it was just a Canadian thing

Thanks, BBM2 and Dorrien. I don't remember seeing a Happy Birthday one, though we have other catchy hand-washing jingles.

Well done, Jono, and thanks for the runner-up accolade, mattrom. You do well with the clips; as I've probably mentioned before, for me finding a suitable prize is harder than writing clues. Not that I dread winning because of that.
