Settlement Association

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Rules:

• Repeating any of the previous three clues or names of settlements in a link is forbidden (you can of course quote a previous post)
  [*]Associations provided should be clearly dissimilar to each of the previous three associations.
• Settlements may be anywhere in the United Kingdom.
• A description of the association should be incorporated in each posting, without simply posting the name only.

Can I draw the attention of contestants to the second item in the rules that I have shown above.

Read and noted...

As both johnnychips and myself posted at identical times, and considering we both achieved the same conclusion though in different ways of research i would consider this to be acceptable - in this circumstance...though wouldn't expect it to become the norm.

If someone wishes to make an official adjudication on the matter then i will abide by their decision.
