Today is Blue Monday, supposedly the most depressing day of the year. Wait, come back. Apparently Blue Monday was completely made-up for some PR thing. However, we organised Merry January back in December as a small way of brightening up everyone's January. And what better day to draw the winners than today?
So, earlier on, in a completely sterilised environment, adjudicated by the spirit of Norris McWhirter, the draw was made. And we are delighted to announce the winners here.
First of all, a big thanks to all that entered, and to everyone who sent pleasant messages thanking us for making the normally depressing month of January just a little more exciting.
The winners (drum roll)...
A night for two at the Hemel Hempsted Travelodge: Winner - Mark Earls
A screen-printed poster by excellent illustrator and
friend of Sell! Sell! Andy Smith : Winner - Richard Alan Roberts
A pair of excellent books ...And The Truth Shall Set You Free by David Icke, and Positioning by Ries and Trout: Winner - Dave Buonaguidi
A luxury Cheese & Spanners Hamper: Winner - Gordon Comstock
Two packs of excellent Howdoos personalisable business cards from our friends at Delicious Industries: Winner - Rob Silsbury
