I did consider combining Johnny Barrs's mince pie def with the true meaning
of FLAMPOINT, the tart decorated with pointed bits of pastry (from the
French _flan pointé_), but decided they were sufficiently different to make
it unnecessary. Johnny scored an unnatural 5 points to make him the next
dealer. Tim Bourne's crochet stitch gained 4 votes, leaving him in second
place and making him the real winner.
Over to you, Johnny!
