I am delighted to win - yes my name is on the poem - so what I have had 5 N/A's from one sponsor with no names - there will still be bias in contests it is very easy to recognise a style and there is always Mr Google - anyway my PM won't be renewed I am disgusted they use a member as their mouthpiece and do not e mail all members with their change! Hugs Jan xx
