    Slightly off topic, but does anyone know where I can buy postcards from to enter these postal comps? I've looked in Tesco & Sainsburys and a few card/stationary stores but can't find them at all. Ta

    This is taken from a previous post (sorry - last time I posted this I thanked the wrong person so sorry / thanks whoever you were / are):

    [FONT=&quot]I don't know if they still do, but fitness first gyms used to have a dispaly in each club free of free postcards with all sorts of designs on, i know london have a few gyms, so if you know any members you could ask them to look for you? Hope that may help get you some[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]have a look when you are in any shops as they may be advertising etc[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Try odeon cinemas
    as said fitness first
    you could also make your own from old cards etc
    some tk maxx stores have beside the till[/FONT]


    [FONT=&quot]O'Briens Coffee Shops might have
    showcase cinemas
    oasis stores [/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]some coffee bars
    Cineworld cinema
    Habitat
    H & M stores
    Slug and Lettuce pubs
    sometimes in Starbucks[/FONT]

    Oh, and I'd add any art gallery, art cafe, or anywhere you see flyers - I've just come back from Edinburgh, and got a load - just turn them over to see if they could be used as postcards. Theatres too.

    Don't be worried about taking ten or more of one design, either.

    I've never been told off.

    Yet.

    I'm the Editor of Simply Prizes and Winner's Friend... so I respect that! But we do find out cos we're all compers and we're lurking everywhere....

    I will chase up the MyComps problem - we do have 'professionals' completing the puzzles for us each week, and double checking the details. Feedback is always appreciated.

    I am scared of you. :eek:

    Elvis is in the Building will be in Westcliff on Sunday, September 7th and has it all - a score that includes all of Elvis's million-selling hits.

    We have 10 pairs of tickets to give away.

    Q: Elvis is in the Building draws from a repertoire of how many hit songs?

    A repertoire of approaching 150 Elvis songs means the King's famed on-stage spontaneity is recaptured in Elvis is in the Building.

    Send you answer on a postcard or sealed envelope with your name, address and telephone number to

    Elvis Competition
    Yellow Advertiser, Acorn House, Great Oaks, Basildon, Essex SS14 1AH by Friday August 22.

    Good Luck.
