Report by Ms de Meaner

V popular. A large number didn't quite get the point. For example: C for Lytic, M for Zema or E for Lempire. You couldn't just make up words. Although lots of you sent in absolute crackers, I felt the winners had to get the full 26, strained though some were! £20 for the trio below; the overall winner is Steve Cornforth, who also gets the Tesco vouchers.
