Apologies if I'm the last to vote and have kept you waiting. If I'm not the last, it's still late voting, so apologies still in place.

Thanks to all 14 setters who competed in this weekend’s WPR challenge.

26 clues received votes, however, two clues were clear favourites and very closely matched.

In second place with 13 votes is SimpleSimon@21’s well disguised anagram with, I think we can say, an extended definition…

Yes, hasn’t a drunken sailor sung this once? (3,6)

However, ahead by just one, on 14 votes is Geting@6’s with an equally well crafted anagram/extended definition clue…

What makes sailors, say, hasten to work? (3,6)

They would also have been my top two clues.

Congratulations Geting, here are your prizes…

(if you weren’t a child in the UK at a certain time this may seem like complete nonsense… and it probably is. But if you were, it may bring back memories).

Cheers all,
Ttfn!
