Lots of Scots defs appeared in this round, but five of you guessed
that the real one was number 11, the whirlpool. Johnny Barrs was one
of those who guessed correctly, and that, combined with the 5 votes
his horse's shoulder gained, lands him the next deal with 7 unnatural
points. Tony Abell and Tim Bourne were the real winners with 4 points
apiece.
Over to you, Johnny - the third UK-based dealer in a row!
