This was a nailbiting round, with Toni taking the lead on
the very last vote to be recorded.
So the next deal is for Toni Savage with 8 natural points,
narrowly leaving Paul Keating with 8 unnatural points as
the real winner. Is a D7 a record? I shall have to spend
some time searching obscure dictionaries!
