The closing date has come and gone, so now all that is left is to choose the winner for the caption competition and draw the winner for the, er, draw.

The caption winner will not be an easy choice - the quality of the entries amazed me. Whenever I see caption competitions my mind goes blank, so everybody who entered would have my admiration regardless, but to see so many sharp entires blew me away.

Thank you so much to everybody who entered both the caption competition and the draw.

Stay tuned for the announcement of the winners, they will be posted before the end of the week.

And in case you missed it, it transpires the (telecoms) poodle is a very expensive pet. Who knew?
