crosswords

[didleydi]

Maybe a silly question but is it acceptable to send the You mag. and the Prize crosswords in same envelope. Don't want to sound cheap but don't want disqualifeid.

I wouldn't risk it - they throw all the unopened envelopes together, then pick at random until a correct grid is opened. If you've put two puzzles together, they wouldn't know until (and if!) they opened it, & would be unlikely to put the second puzzle into the relevant draw.

That's what I think, anyway....

I don't think so. I presume the entries will be sorted by the address on the envelopes. They couldn't possibly open every envelope to separate the puzzles. If I were entering I would send the puzzles in separate envelopes.

Hi L-i-K no replies and then 2 pop up at the same time.......Spooooky! :o)

Hi JMR - I'm humming the theme from the "Twilight Zone" as I type... :-))

[didleydi]

I did think that but tho't i'd check with you guys.
thanks.

These two puzzles have to be in on different dates. Another reason not to put them in the same envelope.

I send The Prize Crossword, You Crossword, Sir Lancelot Crossword and Bare Bones Puzzle in the same envelope, as they all go to the same address. I put each entry into an envelope with it's address on, then put them all in a A5 envelope and I write all the puzzle titles enclosed on that envelope. A large 2nd class stamp usually covers the postage as long as I get it posted by Monday night.

Not a silly question at all Di,it's about time MoS arrived in the 21st century and provided ALL crosswords online.
I am of an age when I can remember a "proper" postal system,ie. you put a letter in the postbox at 5pm and it would be delivered the next morning before 9am.
I'm lucky if I get my post by 3pm,and I'm talking 1st class here!!!!
When the price of a second class stamp goes up to 50p (that's 10 shillings in real money) shall stop sending in my completed crosswords,I mean, what guarantee do we have that they actually get there or that they are actually entered into the draw??
So come on MoS, get your act together,All crosswords etc on line or All crosswords etc in one envelope! Not to much to ask,is it?
