Cry for help from hungry win4now staff!

Hello, Rob here! I'm looking after the blog while Adele is away in sunny Scotland doing some biking at the 7stanes trails. We're all keeping our fingers crossed for good weather for her!

Avid readers of the blog will know that I've been having some problems with my car (if anyone can explain why a Skoda Fabia 1.9 SDI would be overfuelling, causing the car to disappear in a cloud of black smoke, please leave a comment on the blog!) so I've been getting around by bike and on foot for the past month. If I didn't work for Win4now I'd be trying to win one of the cars we've got up for grabs in our motors category. Unfortunately, no amount of arm-twisting seems to be enough to pursuade my managers to change the rules.

One of the side-effects of not having a car is that I can't get to the supermarket and my packed lunches (once shining examples of what can achieved with a little imagination and forward planning) have been scaled down as a result of having to be made with what's left in the cupboards. Today I'm getting by on Marmite sandwiches and a couple of biscuits.

After visiting the Marmite website my hunger forced me to become terribly confused about one of the prizes on Win4now. "Flake Bake Self Tanning?" I thought, "that sounds great - the tasty goodness of an under-rated chocolate bar with all the practical advantages of a sun-bed!" On closer inspection I realised the competition was for Fake Bake Self Tanning. Although, this is no help for my increasingly boring packed lunches, it's a good way for our Win4now members to get through this dreary summer with a tan!

Don't worry, Adele will be back next week so normal blog service will be resumed.

As for the fun4now clues here are a couple of points that may help.

Landmark: it's the 4th tallest thing in London.
Mystery Image: You might see grannies trying to keep their hair dry in one of these.

I think Rob's bad look with cars is rubbing off on the Win4now marketing dept......my exhaust has started blowing, my washers don't spray water and the interor panel of my passenger door is coming off!

Oh the joys of motoring!
