Darn it! I thought I’d checked that all the numbers and letters were present in my reply. Well done to Fran and Bobby and everyone else who entered. 👍😊
Hi Mike, I’m going to ‘undisappear’ all the answers from this week, so everyone can see why I marked the way I did. You had ‘K’ for 4 and 6. I knew you were going to kick yourself 🙂
Well done to the winners!!
