Good luck to all you English people!

With the chance to win a Columbia jacket!*

*Not available in Northern Ireland, Scotland or Wales.

Above your heid, obviously.

"It's psychosomatic. You need a lobotomy. I'll get a saw."

No participating agents outside of England.  

Although I'm sure non-English folk won't be turned away - we do have a few live here out of choice. 

As someone who lives in England but further north than some parts of Scotland the participating stores aren't doing me no favours either - but hey, if I won one it'd just be something else to put on ebay.

Lets get our shoulder chips out & find stores only in Scotland, Northern Ireland or Wales running competitions  - great sport!

edit typo - spelt Wales with lower-case W.  Bound to upset someone

Is it the first to claim their jacket at the stores listed? Or is it still on a drawn system?

I don;t mind driving over to Settle if there's a free jacket in it for me?

Perhaps they thought that's just what would happen if the offer was available in the "hinterlands".

Shewie, the way I read it is that the first 2 people presenting the voucher on the required weekends get the jackets. Sounds like a recipe for a riot to me!

Columbia have chosen shops based in England why do you feel thats a problem?

Just think it's pretty poor that national websites and national magazines are leading with a very regional specific competition, which is of no use to many of the readers in England, and even less so in the rest of the UK. Even if there was a Scottish retailer in for example Edinburgh, that's no good to anyone living in Inverness, or Skye, etc.

If you are near one of these retailers though, good luck to you.

Sorry, Jester,

I'm normally first to condemn 'geographical incorrectness' but this seems to be just a promotional campaign for a restricted number of shops in areas without lots of 'outdoors shop' provision (Chilterns, Quantocks, N Yorks) - many areas of england, including the well provisioned NW, Lake district, and SE of England are just as neglected as the 'occupied nations'...

Sorry Ron, but I'm pretty sure I said this

I agree with you entirely that much of England is neglected. This has to be one of the worst thought out promotions I have seen since a local woman won a trolley dash round the local pound shop.
