Thanks to all who entered. The prize of a small amount of kudos to the following:
6. Fi-Glos
Baaabs and Cuthbert found themselves redundant following the new Midsomer Murders positive discrimination drive...
5. Tremorman
One single and one return to the abbatoir please
4. SkarloeyLine
"Them Londoners, they'll fleece anyone."
3. bradmer
Midnight Cowboy 2 - midday farmboy
2. Flora Brecon
As usual, computer games programmers seemed to have little idea what the English Countryside looked like
