@aboynamedgoo

Brixham is where he landed

There’s a statue of him there too, that’s what confused me.
I believe Horsey Island is also a nature reserve.

Even 7/10 is bad tbh. I’m ashamed.

I believe Horsey Island is also a nature reserve.

It is, since 2019. My Devon tourism leaflet may have been out of date.

Hi Funkhouser, I’d like to know

How good are they really?

Thanks @anon19035908 - almost flawless work. Congratulations on putting Worcester Sauce #1 because that’s the correct answer. Did list Roast Chicken twice though, so I assumed you meant Smoky Bacon the second time.

Let’s take a look at the updated DiS Crisps standings:

Cheese & Onion
Ready Salted
Salt & Vinegar

Worcester Sauce has leaped into 4th ahead of Roast Chicken and Prawn Cocktail, while Pickled Onion, Spicy Sriracha and Marmite face relegation into the Space Invaders division.

1/5. Shit.

[frenchtoast]

Just want to clarify that you’d only relegate 2 from a 14-team competition. Maybe a playoff for a spot, but three up/down is madness.

Thank you for running HGATR, it is my favourite thing on the boards, and also for general Devonness. What do you think is the biggest injustice in the HGATR league table?

[anon19035908]

Ramones, The Clash and Bruce all being under 4. Also 2.32 for Mariah Carey is just embarrassing.
