I saw about four adverts last night for a free CD with the Guardian newspaper today (a couple of which were during the Bill). It had a number of cool songs on it (Moby etc).

However, the newsagent round the corner had loads of copies and when I asked about the CD, he said there wasn't one (and that the Guardia never did free stuff like that!).

I DEFINITELY didn't dream it - I can recall the advert!! It did say, however, only available within the M25 (and I would have thought Woking would be just that!).

Anyone else get a Guardian today or see the advert (i.e. I'm not losing my marbles am I)?

Yes you are right I saw it too, you are not losing your mables, I suggest a quick e-mail to the paper to complain.
Cheers

Fraid so Alcazar!

Anyway, I've rung the Guardian and they've apologised and said there was a problem at their supplier and some areas didn't get any.

They're sending one out to me

The Guardian is a Manchester newspaper. Its a shame its forgotten its roots and only offering something in the south.
