Re: What do you wear in bed
Being me, I don't really have a specific rule set I follow but here's what usually happens. Generally some sort of pyjamas or dressing gown, usually having put this on long before I went to bed (whatever I'm wearing in most zoomdown episodes will usually end up being the sleep clothes if they look s...

Agree with all the rest of this, with the same nervousness about point 5 - obviously there shouldn't be any conundrum with a valid plural anagram, but if it does happen there should be a consistent ruling and Graeme's seems fair enough to me.
