Default [Dixonary] Round 2945 results

Donkeys are versatile and much-loved animals, so it's no surprise that they
are called
a lot of different things in different places (bronkaw, canutor, fussanock,
moke, nirrup,
nussock and pronkus, for example. Derbyshire folk call them yawney boxes (I
have no idea why).

Dave Cunningham's Maori oven wins the deal and Johnny Barrs boring box is
the runner-up.
