    Do you actually need the tokens then to enter this?

    Doesn't say online. Perhaps it's for the newspaper entry only 4.gif

    Someone asked in the comments field online ;)

    Why do you need to collect tokens in the paper, yet you can print out a form online that needs no proof of purchase?

    i'd think it was obvious as to why there is an online entry form ... to generate interest.. but then to require purchase - clever dm at last! i'm all for competitons that require a modicum of inconvenience, especially when proof of purchase is required... it weeds out the lurkers, hangers on, spivs etc. So hurrah for sites like these which allow for collective thinking and discourse, but let's also celebrate when some competitions require a degree of effort on the entrants part!! i remember the olden days before the internet, when i went to great lenghts to enter competitions - e.g long journeys to the british library etc. now most answers are available at the click of a button - and frankly, most of the fun about entering has been lost.

    This is quite confusing then. So are others just printing the on line form and sending off without the tokens?

    Q.11 33000 seems the closest to all approximations as does 108 ( Q.30) would love to know the source of their figures!!! anyone got a mole in DM? ( a mole in boots???) anyway unless informed otherwise I'm plumping for the 2 given answers. Have to swallow pride and buy DM now. yuck. Being disabled that doesn't sit well. thanks to who contributed.

    You might not have to buy the paper, doesn't mention about the tokens online or on the PDF print out
    No you're not a vegetarian if you eat any animal or fish, so do not insult genuine veggies by calling yourself one! :mad:
