Who's Judie McCourt?

And wow, there really is a "Postcode Lottery"? I always thought it was an overused media metaphor.

They have this new fangled thing now called "Google"

Whenever I see Judie McCourt on the adverts, I always think of Carol Vorderman.

Nice surprise from the Postcode Lottery yesterday. Seems I've won a prize in their draw and they offered me 22 books to choose one from. The only sensible option for me was this......

I look forward to a good read of a book I probably wouldn't have bought

I got exactly the same Mick @Newportnobby . Chose the same book too. Wasn't sure if it was a dodgy email at first but it seems genuine enough 

@Trainfish Having not even heard about their prize draw I wondered if it was iffy, too.
Been doing the Postcode Lottery for 3 years so it's cost me £360 but I've had 5 x £10 wins and just need that big win which will enable Judie McCourt to come round and give me a cuddle
Of course, the odd £10 win is just so you keep paying in.

Yes, we've had a few £10 wins which as you say keep you coming back. We had a £20 too. A friend of ours won £1000 about 3 weeks ago but didn't know until I told him

Delivered today so definitely not a scam. Had a quick flick through and seems quite good (especially as it was 'free') and is a proper hardback 

Yus - my copy dropped through the letter box at 12.15 today. It's a typical 'coffee table' book IMHO.
(No - the legs on my coffee table are all level, thank you)
Pleased to see Preston in the book as I think it's a grand station although sometimes a bit of a wind tunnel

I'd be interested to know which station that is on the book cover?

That's Wemyss Bay of course. I thought everyone knew that

Thanks, Nope, new to me.  Only ever been to Scotland once, (only just) and that was Gretna Green Sunday Market years ago.

And there was I thinking that the only thing which happens in Gretna Green was that people got married. Unless of course they do that at the Sunday market too? 

Erm yes, Wemyss Bay was a new one on me too. I'd never heard of it either

That's a long way to go just for a market.

Wemyss Bay pier station on the Clyde, fond memories.
