Dixons,
my real def generated a fascinating sideline on ligatures - I wish I hadn't tried so hard to put the ligature in - but as Roberta
also voted for it I got a D2 ...
I mixed myself up on timing and posted the defs just early enough to miss Hugo's def - which was actually in time - so he gets 2 DP
And the next deal is for Guerri Stevens with 4 natural points, Dan had 4 un-natural points
