October 2016 Caption Competition Winner!

After the chase up by Buzfuz, I received many
entries so thank you for your efforts. It was then
a case of selection, but finally with the aid of Mrs
Winkle, Peter Magnus was declared the winner.

“I see you have got rid of your boater,
so can I have your jacket, as it looks
my size?”

(a small prize will be sent to your residence in due course)
