I Won a Pen!

I won a pen!
And the best of it is, I didn't even know I was competing for it.
Just after the election, I posted a letter to my local paper criticising the long-winded method of manual vote-counting, and indeed of casting one's vote. Then I forgot about it; it was a lengthy letter and I did not think that the paper would print it; nor had I read the paper in over a week. Then, the other morning, I received a letter from the local department store asking when  I was coming in to collect my pen. It turns out that the paper gives a prize for the best letter of the week, and my wordy offering had won it. It really made my day. The pen is pictured above; the letter (I had to purchase a back-issue of the paper) is below.
I suppose I should mention that the paper is the Wolverhampton Express & Star. I suppose I should also mention, for those interested  in writing instruments (penthusiasts?) that the pen is a Cross ballpoint, retailing at thirty-five pounds.
