on-board

Riddle me this...

In celebration of National Limerick Day on Sunday, we ran a competition in which we asked our faithful Facebook family to come up with a Lands’ End limerick...and they turned out to be a truly talented bunch!

We were inundated with entries and spent Monday morning with the difficult task of trying to pick our five favourites from all of the fantastic rhymes we received.

We've printed the winners below so you can enjoy them as much as we did...congratulations to Sarah Harper, Janis Catlin, Jane Willis, Carol Bizzell and Jude Hutchinson who all get a £20 gift voucher!

So what did you think? Please free to comment below and let us know which one is your favourite!

All you have to do is work out the answers and e-mail [email protected] before midnight tonight and then tomorrow we will review all the entrants and randomly select a winner!

Not sure what a dingbat is? Well in short the name of the game is to say what you see, a bit like catchphrase! Here’s an example to help you out…

Good Luck to one and all and from everyone at Lands’ End may we wish you a very Merry Christmas!

Reactions from our delighted Jubilee Winners

At Lands' End we love to spread a little joy every now and again and reward our wonderful customers with prizes and great offers. We were so delighted with the reactions from our Jubilee competition winners that we wanted to share them...

What a fabulous surprise!  With so many lovely things to choose from I’ll certainly enjoy spending my £60 voucher.  Thank you Lands’ End.  It’s made my Jubilee!
Sue Russell, Millom



Winning the voucher is really the icing on the cake for Jubilee week.  We had a street party with the neighbours, just as it finished our first grandchild Felix was born.
Jude Burns Smith, Aviemore



The £60 has been a fabulous boost to my morale. Thank you very much – it really makes a difference!
Sally Anne Hill, London



I would like to say how thrilled I was to receive a voucher from the Jubilee prize draw. I can't remember ever winning any prize before so this was such a surprise--- and from Lands’ End which is my all time favourite clothing company. I will really enjoy spending this.
Johanna Gibbons, Somerton



It was a lovely surprise winning a voucher.  After this interminable winter with 10 months of deep mud I was very depressed, but the voucher cheered me up, particularly as I don't think I have ever won anything in a draw before.  Now to decide whether to spend it on practical clothes or something I wouldn't otherwise buy.
Catherine Elliott, Axbrudge



Thrilled to have won a £60 voucher! 

Very nearly binned it as yet another catalogue amongst a stack of mail awaiting my return from holiday...but was alerted by the fact it was in an envelope, so opened it to find the prize. Many thanks!
Sally Crosbie, Ipswich



Just like to say what a lovely surprise it was to receive your letter!

My only problem now is what to buy as there are so many things I like in the summer catalogue!
Margaret Knifton ,Harrogate



Just wanted to say what a lovely surprise it was, to be a winner in your Jubilee Draw.  I am looking forward to treating myself to something very soon. The hard part will be choosing! I have long been a great Lands’ End fan, your quality never lets me down.
Sue Littlejohn, Knighton



It was a lovely surprise to receive the Lands’ End £60 voucher in the Jubilee Draw. I had just finished a course of radiotherapy after a cancer operation so it did help to cheer me up to be able to choose some new clothes with the voucher!
Janet Vickers, Lancaster



I would just like to thank Lands’ End for the £60 voucher I received in the post this weekend.  I couldn’t believe it when I opened my post to find this voucher, it was a total surprise and much appreciated.  A friend and I are now planning a day out to visit the Lands’ End shop to spend it as we have been going to go for many years and this seems the perfect opportunity.

Thank you once again and keep up the good work Lands’ End as all your products are such good quality and you have a full range of sizes.
Sara Jackson, Huddersfield



Thank you so much for selecting me as a winner in your Diamond Jubilee Prize Draw, it was such a lovely surprise! I was so chuffed when I opened the letter, my two little boys were excited too as I was saying "Oh my goodness Mummy's won!" - sadly for them it wasn't lego but Lands’ End! Although I probably will end up treating my family with the voucher putting the money towards clothes for our Summer hols.

Many thanks - I love a surprise!
Sue Wallis, Chalgrove, Oxon

Winner of our Washington holiday competition Mr Ian Sanderson

Congratulations to Mr Ian Sanderson, of Shildon, Co.Durham who is the winner of our Washington Prize Holiday Draw competition. Ian was overjoyed when we told him that he'd won out of thousands of entries.

"I just wanted to say how fantastic it is to be the winner of the Lands' End USA Holiday, to say I'm shocked is an understatement.
 
It's come at the perfect time, I'm just getting over a bit of a health scare and this prize is a great tonic and has lifted my spirits.
 
It's always been a dream to travel to America, a dream which I had given up on, but now it's become reality...all I can say is thank you very much."

Ian Sanderson.
