As soon as I read ed's blog I thought he wouldn't get away with that without comment. It took a while before someone first mentioned it tho. No one will have a problem with Ethel being a winner - because she is - but it's obvious she hasn't won a post of the week contest.
I don't think there would have been sour grapes over any genuine entrant winning - just a lot of rowdy, mostly fun, comments.
But someone who actually posted as part of the contest should have won. It's kinda obvious really..
