sorry to be a pain but if anyone who has bought the sun over the past few days wont use the alton towers voucher i would greatly appreciate them.ive missed the first few, obviously i would send sae xx
recycling and all that

I'm sure the first propper token is in todays Paper. Saturday was just a 'starter' token. You don't need the token from Satirday, you can start collecting from today.

Please post here if you get any of today's newspapers or have the chance to look through one.
Please tell us if any of them contain coupons or freebies or vouchers OR NOT !

Important details are:
The cost of the newspaper
Whether it's a regional edition

And just how do we know if it's a regional edition? If you buy a newspaper in your local shop it will most likely be a regional edition, but you don't know whether any offer or coupon is regional or national!

Regarding the cost of the newspaper, what's the point as prices do vary (e.g. Sun for 20p in Scotland?). And if there is any point, why list all the prices later in the first post?

I know that the above two points have been copied from earlier (pre-quoia) postings, but surely it is time to look at post 1 and not simply reproduce it in its present outdated form.

And listing only vague details from the front pages (via Sky News at http://news.sky.com/skynews/picture_gallery/0,,70141-1306648,00.html) is not particularly clever or helpful -- for example the Independent for 30p is almost certainly a regional (London?) price promotion! Yes, I am guessing -- just like quoia!

That's correct: token 1 is in today's paper, Saturday's was a starter token. After today (i.e. starting with Tuesday's paper), there will be a further eight tokens, of which you will only need seven (for two people).

But the starter token if youve got it does count as your first token doesnt it?

I guess it depends on how you interpret the context of the OP.

By regional edition, i take it to mean a regional paper....for example, the 2 in my area are Derby Evening Telegraph and the Burton Mail, both of these are only available in the surrounding areas of Derby. I'm sure other areas have other regional variations.

Regarding the newspaper cost.....to use your own example, the Sun is 20p in Scotland. It is usally referred to as the Scottish Sun in most of the postings i've read, thus making the difference distinguishable.

I think it is fairly obvious to people outside the East Midlands that the Derby Evening Telegraph is a regional or local paper and therefore there is really no need to say whether or not it is regional! I am sure the original poster (NOT quoia) expected us to state whether it was a regional offer or coupon. But if your interpretation and mine differ, then that surely is a case for rewording the first post.

Regarding the cost of paper, the paper asks for the cost of of the paper and then goes on to state the cost of most national papers. Unnecessary, surely?

You can use the Starter token plus six differently numbered tokens OR use seven differently numbered tokens without the starter token.

Someone has mentioned to me that you can collect the tokens for the HSM stickers each day (The Sun) then send them off with P&P at end of week rather than collect each day at ASDA, can anyone confirm this please?

Yes it does say that you can save up the tokens and they'll give you the details of where to post in a few days. I'll post the addy when it comes up.

Please can anyone say wether the Hight Street musical stickers looks like a normal voucher with a barcode starting in 99 and ending in the price? Assume it has Asda in it in large print?

It has ASDA in large letters on it and is just a small square token with writing on it, no barcode or anything.
