James: Simple, beautiful, tidy. Also, I want a helpline like that, we could call it the Sumaritans. (a bonus point to James for that effort – CP)

Peter: A stand out.

Katie: A strong contender.

Paul: Obviously an excellent pun, though a controversial one, because puns are normally spoken but this one works better written down.

Steve: I like it.
