Hi all,

Firstly, thank you all for parsing your clues -- it made a difficult job easier. As always a very high standard After reading all the clues I am going to go with ixion at 7 -- which is a very nice succinct clue. I also liked matrons @ 4 which was a close runner up.

I will post your prize separately on the next post, Thank you everyone x

Enjoy --- I want one of these for Christmas
