  166. Where was the winner's name posted for this? I've been checking back to see if anyone I know won, but there's no mention of it yet. Or have they been personally notified?

    172
  167. stewart miller says:

    Just to satisfy those wondering who won, it was me :) The original email telling me of the prize had disappeared into the netherlands of my email inbox -courtesy of my son who had been messing around with my usual email settings while messing with the computer- before i had had chance to see it, so i was unaware that i had won. Until today when i received a follow up email asking wether i had received the original (which obviously i had not personally received it and didn’t know about it) It was only after confirming my details to Tom that i went looking to see why i had not received the original and found it hidden away well below the emails i had already been through and disappearing fast into the confusion that my email inbox had become (thank you son!). Sorry to dis-appoint all you out there with your fingers crossed that you might yet be the winner, but i thought i owed tom and driftsurfing the explanation to which i have now posted to you all to avoid them having to explain it themselves.

    173
  168. judy parslow says:

    who won ?
