I've been watching the biscuit scores for a couple of days now, and think I know who is causing the score crashes. Don't think I can blow the whistle just yet, but looking at todays top 10, there does seem to be a name featuring more regularly than normal!

Let the reprisals begin, I expect no high scores forever, but then I probably am not that funny anyway.

Perfect for Ken Dodd, I'd say, and I mean that in a good way, Al. (Although he'd probably choke a bit at the end, what with his run-in with the Revenue & Customs a few years back an' all. . .). So my vote's gone in too.

As many analysts have noted, the current comedy crunch is pointing to a gloomy comic outlook, and it looks like there might be a rogue trader out there...

But we all know scores can go down, as well as up and I'm sure a submission board stalwart like yourself, Al, will be able to weather the storm.

(And if it helps, I liked your story...)
