We have a new winner! And a new competition.

After a brilliant winning streak ABC Direct have finally been beaten to being the first to answer my quiz correctly and winning £20 off their order. The winners were City Servicing of Grays in Essex. Run by Dave and Amanda Sweeney, City carry out all our service work in the Greater London area and very good at it they are too. So congratulations Dave and Amanda and commiserations to ABC who had a good few stabs at the answer.

I felt it was easy but anyway here is the solution. I asked you to link this photo with two time travellers.



When nobody got it I added the clue of "Ding Dong", think cosmetics, and then gave you a Youtube video of a Hamlet Cigar ad.

OK so the dog is a Great Dane. A very famous time traveller is Doctor Who. If you had googled Great Dane and Doctor Who the answer would have come in the first response. Hamlet is a great Dane. David Tennant is currently playing Hamlet (how could you have missed the publicity?). David Tennant is Doctor Who. His co star is Patrick Stewart who played Jean Luc Picard the Star Trek Captain. (My son says that is tenuous but I argue that as the Star Trek craft travelled faster than the speed of light then he too was a time traveller). Ding dong cosmetics is a reference to the famous Avon catch phrase and the RSC is based in Stratford Upon Avon. As for the Hamlet cigars, I don't need to explain that (or do I?). To be honest, apart from Marion and our son Paul, nobody here solved this quiz.

Lauren has asked me to make today's quiz easier. So this one is dead easy. What are the lads in the factory making today? First to order one of these models quoting "It's what the lads are making today" wins £20 off their order. Here's a very very big clue.



Here's a greetings card for all the doom mongers out there.



Don't believe it.
