Oh dear - they're all good! It'll be hard to pick a winner from among a great lot.

Only a few more days to get your votes in! Looks like philipy has a good chance at this rate!

well done far better than my effort.
one thing I did notice, 41 votes cast but 380 odd people looked, they could have at least voted, doesn't take much

I totally agree with you Gremlin. Participation is part of being a member of this, or any other group, and in this case anonimity is included at no extra charge!!!
I did vote quite early on and I'm pleased to say my choice is winning... so far!
Come on you members.... join in the fun.

I believe phpBB (the software that powers this site) counts each time a person views a thread as a new view. I've looked at this thread probably 2 or 3 times (and voted!) and as a result I've created 2 or 3 views. So 380 views could be just 100 people. Still not everyone viewing - but a much smaller amount of non-participation.

Peter L is right, if someone views the thread multiple times each visit is a "view", of which about 20 of those are probably from me!

However, it seems philipy has won with a deserving photo! I shall send a PM soon.

Sorry about the slight delay in mentioning anything on here, I may have been a tad intoxicated yesterday evening...
