    I wanted All quiet on the Western Front , but got The Spy who came in from the Cold. I arranged to pick them up from my local library Avenues-Chanterlands Ave, but have been in touch with them and we are organising a competition to win some free copies for their readers.The question we have set is who played George Smiley in the BBC TV mini series (1979) of Tinker, Taylor Soldier Spy ? ( They are kindly handling the publicity )

    I had my email :j

    The worlds wife. I studied Carol Ann Duffy in Eng Lit a few years back, and I think I would have paid more attention in school if we had studied this, or similar, for GCSE. Therefore, I have chosen to donate them to my local high school.

    :D
    Thanks to all posters :A

    I would check your spam folders if I were you as mine had gone in there. It was apparently sent at 00:44 this morning, so I would imagine that they have all been sent by now.

    In the email that said thanks for waiting, it said that you should get an email even if you weren't successful.

    I applied as soon as this was posted, and still haven't received an email, I will wait until tomorrow, but will presume that I haven't received one.
