Whatever happened to ‘Spot The Ball’ competitions in my local newspaper?
I remember my local paper (The Gazette) used to have terrific local news that would inform me of sales of balls of wool at my local yarn shop. Sadly those days have gone, but whatever happened to Spot The Ball? A picture taken usually from a football match was printed in the paper, but the ball had cleverly been removed from the image. You had to mark where you thought the ball might be with a cross, and you could send the image into the newspaper to try and win a prize. Whoever got closest to the centre of the ball was declared the winner and the prize could be anything from £1.00 to £45.00!!!
“Is this what counts as Current Events in your world?”
Err, yes it does! Hey, are you from the future?
Ball spotting sounds very much like a sport for the intelligentsia.Suits you Sir, I mean Madam.
