MCN clear-out winner announced

A couple of weeks back we had a desk shuffle in the MCN office and decided to have a bit of a Spring clear-out in the process. The clear-out became a goody bag of immense proportions which we were prepared to give away to one lucky (?) reader.

All you had to do was guess how many items would end up in the bag. The answer was 50. And we’re not entering into kind of debate about a pair of earplugs counting as two or anything similar because… it’s our ball and we’ll take it home if we want to.

Our rules stated that entries had to include your full name and your MCN user name. The closest to fulfilling those criteria among the 221 who had a pop was: Pippa Starkings, from Eaton near Norwich, Norfolk. She guessed at 51 items.

Here are the contents of the MCN clearout bag… in no particular order
