Caption Competition
Many thanks for all the captions I've received by post and email. I took them all to the
pub with me last night, and got a friend to choose the best (which just happened to be
one ofmy favourites). I am pleased to announce that the winner is Graham Millard, who
gets a year's free subscription to the magazine. Well done Graham, and thanks for a
great caption, which really made me chuckle!
