Okay, an absolute torrent of entries for this one, it too ka good couple of hours to read them all, and I had to kill several trees for the paper to print them all out, so no moaning about the winners.

Winner of a game of his choice - mickey, for his suggestion of a 'Gameaday Receipt' idea, of which many of you suggested, but mickey got their first. Well done, mickey.

Runners up prize of a DVD of his choice goes to Aliboy, for his 'Santa' idea. It's well put and a nice festive idea, so it's definitely worthy of a prize. Congrats.

Thanks to everyone for all your entries, we read them all and found them to be very useful. Peace out, and complaints to the usual address. Cheers

Ali

Lexus, what you want to do is copy every idea on here, but change one word for the better.

Driver says "8 pence, please"
Woman says "Gosh! It's like being at SR!"

Pic: woman at checkout in supermarket with brimming trolley
Cashier says: "That'll be 19 pence please"
Woman says "Golly! It's like shopping at SR!"

-----

Pic: Suited gent paying for taxi at airport
Cabbie says "15 pence please"
Gent says "Heavens! I like these SR rates!"

-----

Pic: Mercedes showroom, car has price label of £12
Buyer says "SR rates? I'll have 2!"
