I have been asked to clarify the status of posting the same connection more than once in succession. I seem to recall that no official ruling was ever made on this, and this people were allowed to effectively plagiaries the previous link.

I am going to say that repeating the SAME connection that was stated in the previous clue will no longer be permitted. We have had chain answers before, such as piers I seem to recall, which makes things far too easy.

What sets this thread apart from other Association threads is the uniqueness and variety that can so easily be achieved, and the massive potential to learn about so many places in Great Britain (remember, only towns in England, Scotland and Wales are permitted), and I would hope that this can continue for a long time to come.

I have found this posting of adjudication, made by the quiz-setter some months ago, which would appear to invalidate the last posting that was made.
