Caption Competition
Winning entries in the Caption Competition.
The competition is now closed.
This week we have Prince Charles staring into a boot that will feature in The Hobbit movie.
Thanks to all who entered. The prize of a small amount of kudos to the following:
6. Chimmy:
Are you absolutely sure she didn't leave a glass slipper?
5. Gareth Butler:
"Is this the low-cost housing one hears so much about?"
4. Martin Walter:
I can't get my leg up that high. Remind me to get a shorter valet next time.
3. K Morrison:
The Prince of Wales did not have this in mind when he asked to see the Duke of Wellington.
2. Abstractnoise:
No, thank you. One usually has little trouble putting one's foot in it.
1. Kudosless:
These boots were made for Tolkien.
