And I would have voted for it.

Well, once the last vote is in, I believe I will have irrefutable evidence that I wrote the 2 worst limericks for this game. At least I will have won something: The worst limerick entry.

Ok folks, I have cast a vote and made Richard the winner of this game. The limericks came from:

1 - Richard - sorry but I was swayed by its blueness
2 - Bob - clever and could easily have been the winner
3 - Kalleh - loved the use of heresy and the local connection
4 - Mine - loved it, would have voted for it if someone else had written it, but alas nobody else did
5 - Bethree - the only one to get an absolutely perfect 3-syllable rhyme for the way the locals say Werribee, with Sarah B, but then we got let down a little with Farrah B.
6 - Kalleh - as always good local connections, with the River and the use of Sheila - nice work.

Hope those of you who played enjoyed the game.

Over to you Richard.

Well thanks, everyone. I would have chosen the name of the town where I am staying(if a place with fewer than 400 inhabitants can be called a town) but I believe that we have already used Headley (UK) which is pronounced the same as Hedley (Canada) so I won't repeat it.

So I'll go for the nearest place to Hedley with an airport - a town called Penticton. The name is phonetic and the stress is on the middle syllable.

As I only get limited use of this computer I can't guarantee to acknowledge all PMs immediately.
