Hi rrickyuk
I have a copy of the Hotline Mag in front of me and the competition is "Work out which cities the writers are referring to and which Virgin Trains' stations are spelt out in the pictures"
So therefore 01) should be Manchester and 02) London (ie the cities)
Hope you don't think I'm being too pedantic....0 -

SO, IS IT JUST ME, OR - JUST TO BE PEDANTIC FOR A MOMENT - ARE THE STATIONS CONCERNED CALLED, AND I QUOTE, MANCHESTER AND LONDON, OR ARE THEY CALLED:
01 - Manchester Piccadilly
02 - London Euston
Fellow compers will tell us who is right.
OH, and, with the mag in front of you, does it refer you to an atlas or, perhaps, a map of a certain train company's stations?
Looking forward to THIS reply...Al Mac Appreciation Society No. 188

Sorry for trying to be helpful. I agree let the fellow compers decide. I'll quote the full blurb in the magazine (and highlight the important bits)...
"Exercise your mind while you travel - work out which CITIES the writers below are referring to, and which VIRGIN TRAIN STATIONS are spelt out in the PICTURES Answer all five correctly and you could win two first class return tickets to any destination within the Virgin network"
Question 1 and 2 are quotes from writers (ie name the CITIES) and questions 3, 4 & 5 are pictures (ie name the VIRGIN TRAIN STATIONS)
I guess people can decide for themselves what answers to give.0 -
Why not enter Manchester(Piccadilly) and London (Euston) surely this would be acceptable to the judges as it gives both alternatives?The years starts today ....0

Oh, I've got a life.
And a hangover.
Email them if you're really bothered.
They still want the stations, though.
