Giveaway #146 - win a mini vintage-inspired food hamper - closed - winner Helen Maddock


*** UPDATE : Many people guessed Franklin D. Roosevelt, but the correct answer to the question ‘For which couple did Winston Churchill buy for Christmas 1940, a one piece zip-up siren suit and a copy of Fowler’s Dictionary of Modern English Usage?” is King George VI and Queen Elizabeth ! ***
I told you earlier in the week (here) about the 1940's House at IWM (Imperial War Museum) having a Christmas makeover before finally shutting its doors on the 2nd January. Well, to mark the occasion, the IWM have come up with a lovely retro-themed prize for one of you lucky Madhouse Family Reviews readers to win : a mini vintage-inspired food hamper which contains:
Ration Tea tin
Jar of vintage sweets
Plum jam
Walkers’ Toffee Duo
Grandma Wild’s Traditional Style Biscuits

To be in with a chance of winning, just do the following three things :

 
(1) follow my blog with Google Friends Connect (over on the side bar on the right)

(2) leave me a comment below to let me know that you've entered

(3) email competition@iwm.org.uk with your answer to this question : For which couple did Winston Churchill buy for Christmas 1940, a one piece zip-up siren suit and a copy of Fowler’s Dictionary of Modern English Usage ?
(feel free to tweet me if you want a clue !)
Sorry, no bonus entries this time as IWM will be picking the winner !

Click here for the T&C's.

UK only. Closing date : 2/1/12

    Hi Fiona, that's strange - did you validate the authentification text ? It doesn't matter anyway, as they were picking the winner so it wouldn't make any difference :)
