    FREE DOWNLOAD FOR EVERY DAILY MAIL READER

    To coincide with the fantastic Brideshead Revisited DVD promotion, the Daily Mail is giving every reader the opportunity to download this delightful Katherine Mansfield short story - absolutely FREE!

    The story “Daughters of the late Colonel”, written by Katherine Mansfield is based around two sister’s whose father had recently died. Mansfield describes the struggles of these two women as they try to express their femininity and overcome the barriers of etiquette and the presence of their father, whom they feared.

    is this voucher for goji berries to be redeemed today only??:T

    Yes it's today only. They also limit how many are available so you have to get there early these days.Tried to pick one up for a relative but was told I would have to bring some ID.

    Really amused to see a SA from tesco who never takes your coupons buying 40 copies of the Daily Mail form WH Smith in his lunch break. Wonder what he will be doing with them.
  • This is the link for the printable coupon...

    However, there is an error on the expiry date, it says 2007 rather than 2008!!!
    Would probably scan as it is the right one but will depend how closely the SA looks!!

    HTH's:beer:

    Ive just logged onto the daily mail site to print the voucher and it looks like they have amended the date to be 2008 now.

    i dont think the link is any different but have included it anyway.

    Was this just a cynical marketing ploy by H&B to get people throught the doors? I was in the Croydon branch early on Saturday to redeem...no 500g gojis ANYWHERE...why wasn't there a special section set up with loads of packets in? Or why wasnt there at least any sign to say something about it. The queues were MASSIVE and all the staff were busy serving so couldn't even ask any staff member about this. So my cut out voucher was completely useless. The papers and the companies that advertise work craftily between themselves to get more people to buy the papers and go into the stores to redeem the vouchers.

    I just personally think it was a sham. !!

    Did anyone else actually manage to get any *FREE* goji berries?

    Like you I was in H and B at 9. The staff had about 8 boxes of berries which were behind the till ready. I would guess that your experience is more down to ineptitude on the part of the shop management or a muck up of some kind.
