8. IN THE EVENT OF A WRONG ANSWER:

If a submission to the quiz is incorrect, but there have been no further posts, the author may edit their post, so long as the original is shown as crossed out. After striking through an incorrect entry, you must use reply rather than edit to post your new entry. This aims to prevent confusion to allow for smooth proceedings.

If there have been further posts, either of two circumstances should occur;
i) The author states their position, thus making any posts after the original superfluous. The original incorrect answer should be crossed out. The game is then continued by a different individual, starting from the station before the incorrect submission.
ii) Another individual states their suspicion, which is then confirmed by another player. Anyone is then welcome to continue the game, again starting from the station before the incorrect submission. Again, the incorrect answer should be crossed out. If you are unable to cross the answer out, due to reasons beyond your control, you should only edit to a statement giving an acceptable reason. You should not make another posting until another person has posted. If the post is edited, then it will be assumed that the entry has been changed, unless a clear reason is posted in the reason box.

The above extract of rule 8 of the quiz should be useful to recent new contestants.

9. Any entry that has been edited or deleted without good reason will lose 10 points from that leg.

Please may I remind you of the requirement to cross out your incorrect post and then submit your new answer in a brand new replacement post. Thanks.

Woodley was a valid reponse from Romiley. Why did you change your answer.

May I also remind you of the need to cross out your old post and make a brand new post with your new answer when an answer is indeed incorrect. You should not just use the edit post function to edit in your new response.

TIME TO WHEEL OUT THE "BIG GUNS" OF THE SPECIAL ADJUDICATION PANEL ON THIS QUIZ AND TO ADD TO WHAT clagmonster HAD ALREADY SAID

What service goes direct from Marple (posting # 74677) to Woodley (posting # 74682) without stopping at Romiley first? I say this as those two postings are the only ones left that are NOT struck through and as such I have my own doubts about your posting.

Until I hear to the otherwise, I decree this to be the station from which this quiz continues.
