I am chucking that a question about Accrington Stanley arose whilst @jonsie is on his holidays ! 

Thank you for organising @Mi-Amigo ; another enjoyable exercise. 

Well done all, particularly the high scorers. 👍 

[Oxonian]

I had completely forgotten @MI5 that Accrington Stanley featured in that advertisment ; it brings back memories. 

Thank you for posting it. 😀
