Congratulations to Don who came out on top this month with a neat comp. anag. & lit. – and hard lines to John A who just mised out in second place; same idea, slightly less felicitous wording.
 
It was pretty close all round this month, and Robin makes a welcome return to the podium in 3rd spot with his cleverly disguised "hidden".
 
Dave P squeaks into 4th place with his cheeky clue, and final podium placing goes to Brian with the other cleverly disguised "hidden" clue.
 
Well done to all for yet another entertaining month!
