    Fraught with legal and moral difficulties, this one. The debate centred around whether BIG GAY SWINDLER was a usable anagram of the name of a former British winner. The issues were:

    Is it offensive?
    Is it libellous?
    Is it homophobic?

    Having taken advice we decided against, the main reason being it contains not many of the same letters as CHRIS FROOME.

    Incredible stuff. Dangerously close to completing it, but at the risk of losing my job, so I have to get back to work.

      But if you lose your job, surely that will buy you the time to complete it?

      I don’t understand.
