Thanks @Mi-Amigo, I was only being cheeky with my M90 Services answer, so no issues with that not being allowed. I'm also surprised a chocolate orange is only 20 pieces, no wonder I get through them so quickly!

Well done to everyone else for the high scores! A pretty good display all round and I was close to a Red Thinker which would have been thinkers for all. Gutted to let down the team and by the looks of the new WTQ Imma fall short on Friday too. 😬
