Last month I asked you think up a word, a singular noun that, if you add one letter to the end, becomes plural and, if you add the same letter to the end again, becomes singular again. I came up with:

Prince  -  princes  -  princess.  How about you?

Now, for this month, what do the following sentences have in common – yet which is the odd one out?

1. If you are deaf you should file your tax return before the rainy season begins.
2. When the sailors’ mission inducted a young female pastor, quayside services at both ports were resumed.
3. Edmund took pickled onions to feed the swans each time he walked his goat in the park.
4. Joseph played a low card if Frances, blind in one eye, led with clubs in the over sixties annual tournament.
5. The new Ark Royal was ordered to make for a Dutch port before the clocks were put back.
6. Since Jason avoided neither the waterfall, nor the bog, nor the tumbling stream, he got his new plus-fours wet     and dirty.

More next month.
