Caption Competition
The competition is now closed.
This week it was children dressed up as smurfs in the Spanish village of Juzcar. Houses were also painted blue to promote new film The Smurfs.
Thanks to all who entered. The prize of a small amount of kudos to the following:
6. Edmund Crispin
Pontin's - the early years.
5. Andy Hill
It suddenly dawned on Harry that his spell had gone badly wrong.
4. Candace9839
Ever wonder what the side effects of Spanish Fly were?
3. Vicky S
Michael Gove thought the Hatcademy schools were a jolly good idea, and was only waiting for someone to suggest a Glove Academy.
2. Manisha
Royal Ascot did not expect this when they allowed children to attend.
1. Its the school's Famous Quotes play and only half the cast have turned up. The punctuation marks wait anxiously for the quotations to arrive.
