Anyone know what form this will take ? Is it a voucher for Waterstones or something ?

Scary

It`s normally a wee book included in the paper Kenny, they do this quite a lot

I'll look out for it. I was just thinking a book is a big thing to give away with the paper itself

Alex Glass

Some one has arranged for me to get a copy without having to go out and buy the paper.

Hugo Drax

Blimey! Charlie Wilson has nothing on you Alex.

Its a 32 page booklet, seems fairly interesting - although many of the derivations of street names will be known to most of you.

Boo, I might not bother then

I thought it was going to be a proper book.

Alex Glass

There is a proper book. Maybe this abridged version is to encourage you to buy the book.

I think it is priced about £9.99.
