A day after sharing the above news I was in London, and I spotted one of these posters!

I’ve just sent the photographic proof (below) plus details of where on the London
Underground I spotted it, and those nice people at appiChar confirmed that I’m a
winner of some chocolates.

Quite right!

And I should add that I spotted more posters on my Tube travels, and I understand
from Ian that there are a few more prizes out there to be bagged.
