London Marathon 2014

[El Gordo]

Fanstastic news! If it's true. I got in last year on a deferred five-strikes-and-you're-in rule, but I thought they were phasing it out. I seem to remember that last year I put this point to you, and you issued a withering riposte, so apologies for insulting your intelligence if it's all in hand.

Well I hope I hadn't been such a cad as to issue a withering response to what was clearly a rare effort on your part to say something useful.

Yes, a joke...

You are right, Dan. They stopped the scheme at least 2 years ago but the organisers were good enough to say that if you were already X years into the scheme, the deal would be honoured. I think I was just about to enter for the 3rd time when they notified me. Whatever it was, they made it clear I was one of the lucky ones. So I presume 2014 will be the last opportunity for people to benefit from it.
