Confusion in dairy, leads to Windass's invoice being waived ,we hear!

Some thoughts....

Confusion (anag. ind.?)....In Dairy = Andy, Andriy I, Adrian doesn't quite fit, hmm...

You are correct on the Grotesque being an AI TC....again but it is Grudge kisser and not Grudge Killer

Greg Rusedski

Yep, that's the fella
