Caption competition


Friday 21 August 09

We're competition crazy round here at the moment, and here's our latest offering - the caption competition! You probably already know the sketch. We show you an image (in this case a painting from our collections) and you come up with an amusing caption. This is the first pic (it's actually called 'What is it?' by Henry Stacy Marks).

Post your entry as a comment (please keep them clean!) We'll pick a winner next week who will receive a book of Cecil Beaton snaps (you can see it on Amazon - it's nicer than the price suggests!) which ties in nicely with the Beaton exhibition currently at the Walker Art Gallery.

You're right - the bridge does wobble when we all walk in step

The combined hen and stag party proved a roaring success until Geoffrey's kebab 'repeated' on him.
