Please forgive me for the delayed message but thanks to Al for quizmatering through the EAC XVI. and a fine job he did too even if i'm not sure i ever really tuned into his wavelength. Congrats to Spoonz who has probably already started on the 2021 clues

Great work behind the scenes by Liz too. I always knew she'd pull it off.

Thank you Lionel. I sensed you were not fully match fit this year. I had hoped you would score with the Question dedicated to you.

And now for this important message for you from my gorgeous and energetic GA

As you know big boy, I would pull it all off for you

Belated thanks and congratulations. Record number of clues for the insatiable quizzers. Only Santa's elves can have worked harder than the tireless Tedburn Towers staff.

Back to your more customary solid performance this time Houndster.

A dossier was kept during the year as I spotted potential clues. With some tweaking we ended up with a wide variety of questions. There are literally hundreds or even thousands of possibles out there. For example, I spotted the Swift Tower when walking to Vue last summer. Not sure I had seen it before so I sympathised a bit with Stroudy when he reared up over it. The first attempt (see below) lined up as a QF was replaced by grafting it on to the Gulliver by the tower pic. Much better I thought.

In addition, as new things happen you sometimes see scope for a clue. One of my personal favourites was the Jon-Paul Pittman clue crafted at short notice where there was so much in the pic leading to the answer but still difficult to get to.

The Quiz team joined Santa to help the elves after I paid them off on 24/12. Mr Breakfastable found difficulty with chimney breasts mind and has gone back to reffing

As an occasional birdwatcher, I feel I ought to have got the Swift Tower. As for the Pittman clue, I had "Norman Collier" lined up as the answer!
