For Sale: Framed oil painting, lady on a riverbank (not modern style), approx 14" x 19", brand new (unused), £5. - Advertisement in Bristol Evening Post (Francis Harvey)

A caption in Guardian Weekend, page 102, read "Binch of crappy travel mags". That should, of course, have been "bunch". But more to the point, it should not have been there at all. It was a dummy which we failed to replace with the real caption. It was not meant to be a comment on perfectly good travel brochures. Apologies. - Guardian (Margaret Brooks)

A collection of some of the best obituaries published in the Daily Telegraph has been shortlisted for a new literary prize for comic writing. - Daily Telegraph (Brenda Rowe)

A £5 book token for all entries printed above.
