This thread will remain open to entries until midnight on 31 December - and the winner will be announced in early January.

The winning caption will win £50-worth of vouchers.

* Tip: we’re looking for *captions* - which tend to be better when short-ish in length.
** The second image to caption will go 'live' on Monday 11 December.
