grin Is it a remake of that TV series "The Prisoner" ?

No, it's in the Latest column on the rhs of the page - last in the list. Click on 'Competitions'.

I don't have a Cornwall add either. I think I may have add blocked a number of adds but don't tell GNHQ.
I never take any note of any advertising anyway unless I have been deliberately looking for something.
Sorry GHNQ. I hope I don't get kicked out.

I can't see a Cornwall thing!

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 22-May-16 12:42:20

Oh it's a competition. Yes. Very good! grin

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 22-May-16 12:40:25

Why haven't I got the Cornwall ad? I've still got these effin mycotoxins!

Brilliant grin I don't suppose the Tourist Board will be too happy wink

grin I promise I won't put any more on GN but do have a look at the sentence under your Cornwall holiday ad. I don't really think you mean what it says but it's hilarious. grin

trisher unfortunately we're not as wily as that... blush ahem, I mean, of course that's what we were doing! grin

Are you doing this deliberately to find out if we all still have our marbles?

vampirequeen Wed 18-May-16 10:36:15

Did you know that everytime you misuse an apostrophe or forget to use one when you should somewhere in the world a puppy dies?

Shame on you Gransnet....puppy murderers!

Oo-err, where mischief? Must be a typo because I can 100%, hand on heart promise that we all have a horror of those kinds of mistakes - this one in particular!

Nelliemoser Wed 18-May-16 10:09:26

GNHQ should know by now that there is a big "pedants corner" contingent on GN.

"With health information overload everywhere we turn these days, it's sometimes hard to feel your putting the right things in your body."

Shouldn't that be 'you are' and therefore you're.
