We live in a small village which doesn't have a newsagents. The rest of the week when we go shopping we always buy the paper. It doesn't seem much different to people asking for the answers to crosswords which they usually submit for a cash prize. Thank you anyway for your comments.
You do what you have to do. However, thank you very much for the answer. I will not be asking again. I notice that you once gave a spare number out last August -Spare number 7342-8720-8493. Thank you anyway.
Perhaps if you had explained the problem previously you wouldn,t have received such negative reactions. Is there no-one in the village that drives who could pick up the paper for you? having said that, it is not quite the same as asking for help with crossword clues, where a prize is by no means certain (we've had one, from 5 crosswords a week, in 11 years!). The Mail Reward numbers do contribute towards real rewards, in the form of shopping vouchers which everyone can get.
