Get him first, get him free


WE have FIFTY Aleksandrs to give away.
And our lucky winners will be the first people in the country to get their mitts on the charming and chatty little fella.
To enter our draw seemply email [EMAIL="features@the-sun.co.uk"]features@the-sun.co.uk[/EMAIL] with the subject line "meerkat", your name, contact number and the answer to the following question: From which country does Aleksandr hail?...from text below Answer: Russia
Hurry though, you only have until midnight tonight to get your answers in.
The 50 winners will then be picked at random from all emails received. Good luckski!



MEERK-AT no mistake, it is seemply the best present out there this Christmas.

Yes, the nation's most loved talking animal will be in huge demand as Aleksandr the telly ad meerkat hits shop shelves.
The bad news is there are only 5,000 going on sale - but we have secured 50 to give away to our readers BEFORE they reach the market. Aleksandr has become a huge cult figure with his dapper dress and "seemples" catchphrase.


These rare replicas repeat the Russian's famous line when you give him a squeeze.
Each wears a tiny trademark smoking jacket and paisley silk cravat.
The limited edition run will go on sale at Harrods next month, at £19.95 each. Demand is expected to be phenomenal.


I have searched for Meerkat and The Sun and got no hits, please delete if a dupe


I'm now a retired teacher... hooray ...:j

    Cheers for the date adjustment.Do you have the originating URL?
    Re the copy/paste a lot is to do with copywright,hosting & bandwith and the pictures are from the Sun's site.Each to their own but I tend to follow MSE rules as much as I can as I really value this service:D
