Inspired by John R (thanks for the idea).

Ideas / captions / suggestions in the next seven days (competition closes at 08:00 on Tuesday, 23rd June).   Keeping it simple ... I'll choose the winner and announce it the following morning.  Limit 3 entries per person. Judge's decision final, and weill be based purely on the merit of each entry.  Don't anticipate any prize, please, other than the kudos of winning ... but if we get a lot of entries, I'll look for a token prize that fits the winning caption.
