Gazettes in Darlington

Post by Andrew Wilkinson » Mon Mar 21, 2011 9:50 am

Hi folks. We are this week increasing the number of copies of the Gazette to our Darlington outlets. This is as a result of comments on this board about the rail token offer. Of course we must stress that this doesn't ensure you get train tickets, but it at least gives you a better chance of collecting the tokens.

When does the Gazette normally go on the shelves in these outlets?

Well there was only 4 at mowden co-op and 2 left from Saturday. Free to a good home minus the tokens of course! Actually getting the gazette reminded me why I dont bother with it!

I am sat here filling in the competition to win my council tax for the year. Hands hurting now, 24 entries for me!

Tesco extra at Stockton has loads of gazettes if any of you are over there.

In McColls opposite KFC they told me one bloke had bought EVERY copy they had.
Everyone is entitled to my opinion!

I'm assuming you'll need 12 tokens, 6 going and 6 return?

Nope, 6 per person for a return journey.

Sold out at Morrisons North Road but thankfully they were taking orders for tomorrow (she said they were expecting an order of a hundred) so she's agreed to put 12 aside for me.

Called at the Co Op at Mowden on the off chance but they were completely sold out too.

My girlfriend got 15 copies from Morrisons Morton Park just after 12 today. Added to the three I got yesterday (leftover Saturday copies) from Neasham Road News and I've reached the magic 18 needed for three people to go to London :D

She's sat cutting out all the tokens now :lol:

I'm told there were plenty of copies to spare so presumably they're getting decent stocks in every day.

Do you need a token from each different day or just 6 tokens as I've ordered 3 gazzette's a day from Cockerton for the next week to get the 18 I require.

Thanks. Me and a few mates were a bit perplexed at the wording of the Gazzette's offer. Only really talks about needing tokens for a single journey. Mate in Boro got me 12 copies this evening anyway so I'm all good 8-)
