I don't want a copy. I don't want to take part. I can't be alone in this. So how do I get rid of the annoying prompt.

If you don't want it Brian enter it the reminder may disappear then if you win give the prize to me because I would really like it. ;)

cliffandger, all the freebies have been sent out and we sent one to a Geraldine near Bristol, could that have been you?

If you email or pm me with your details I'll check.

Steve :)

Damn, beaten, had to get rid of the red splodge.

I suppose you all know that there is only ONE answer, Over 200, that covers all values.

If it's any consolation Brian, I can't get rid of the red splodge.
Steve :)

Problem is, apart from being a ninja trained grumpy old man, I was a programmer so this sort of thing bugs me because it's sloppy programming. If you and Jim can't get rid because you are not allowed to take part then the programmer did not analise the problem fully. And my grumpy bit, it's plain bad manners not to have a get out of this.

But after a bit of thought and knowing we may have more time to fill in the UK this year I ordered a copy, it's not a lot of money and some of the comments on here have been very positive.

It's a deal. I've just had a re-think and bought one anyway.

Hi, Jim.

I love this site and the work you do but wonder why I cannot enter unless I reveal the year of my birth.

With the amount of hacking of information held on websites personal details need to be protected. We have already fallen foul of a hacking of an international companies data base.

Is the guide alcoholic?:whistle:

So lie, I usually do give or take a few years. In fact lie about anything that might be used to categorise you. It's plain common sense these days.

There are folk on here who use their full names, we know the quality of their vehicles, we know when they are away. God's gift to thieves.

It could be worse, it could have the coverage of facebook.

Ok.

My birth year was 1835. You should see the amount of pension I have collected by now!;)

Still doesn't answer the question why we need to reveal such information to enter a competition on this site. I am sure Jim is not intending to sell our info to third parties, but, again, why?(n)

I don't know but you did mention alcohol, are we living in such an absurd world that we cannot give out the address of a pub to a minor ?

I see that I've actually been honest with FUN and put my correct age in. How's that for trust.

Aha, that's why I couldn't enter. I'm too young apparently ;D


Jim, could you add a few years to my stated birthday as we can't change it ?

Cheers

Ha! I was driving down to Inverness this morning (south) and passed a MH parked in a lay-by right next to the A9 (north). We had quite a lot of snow overnight and the road was a bit slushy and a great big articulated lorry passed the lay-by and the MH was battered with slushy spray as the traffic noisily rushed past.

I thought, now if the owner of that MH had subscribed to a copy of Britstops, they could have been parked up in peace and quiet nice and snug in the car park of the Tarbat Discovery Centre at Portmahomack!

No doubt they were inside the MH drying out old tea bags to save a bit more cash. :)

Britstops works!

We received our guide yesterday (thanks Steve & Mandy). This is the first time I've ever seen one and it is very impressive.

So how do I know it works?

Well I was browsing the guide to see what is up here in the Highlands and I saw entry number 845, Castle Arms Hotel, Mey, which is up on the north coast about 2 hours drive away for us. It looks like a nice restaurant but is a bit far for an evening meal.

No problem now though. Drive up in the MH, have a nice meal and then retire a few yards to the MH for the night. Next day take a nice leisurely drive back home after visiting the Castle of Mey!

Emailed and meal booked and in her indoors' good books - job's a good 'un. :)
