# unless two or more players are in Dingle

# Not quite
If you recall this is the 1932 championship edition with the Nerivsky modifcations around London Bridge and Archway to prevent jumping and cross ply-overs. I feel it's the most traditional mode, before Oysterifcation was introduced.

# My friend Samantha is a keen birdwatcher
and recently discovered that her garden is home to a pair of rare british birds.

I was overjoyed when she invited me to bring my binoculars around to have a gander at her great tits.
