Thanks again GB
Something seems to have gone wrong with the GuideML in the bit talking about Stamps...
I think the BLOCKQUOTE around the Green Shield Stamps needs to be changed to p, and that should fix it.
Other than that, it all looks good to me 
Thank you

I had to tweak quite a bit of the Guide Ml there to get it right, but it looks ok to me now, I hope it does for you too (I'm still in Goo)
I just tried to login as GB and the dreaded Captcha is back (I got street signs)
I'm not sure I want to be around h2g2 while that is back, I can't take any more stress!

It is funny (but not funny haha) how sometimes it takes your word for it when you say you're human, and other times it needs you to prove it by Captcha... I don't know what the trigger is, but I'm kind of used to it now - at least it is only on login and not while I'm in the middle of doing important work. I'm sorry it upset you
I'm also sorry that I made a hash of the GuideML in the Entry, getting all confused with all the Blockquotes and paragraphs... 
The sentences "And you used to get stamps in books taken out the library too" and "There were definitely more stamps in the good old days... as well as more little, quirky shops." need to be in BLOCKQUOTE as well and that should look right. No rush to do it, though...

No need to apologise! Thank you for compiling it. Those kind of entries are not my favourite to put together!
I've added the blockquotes and returned the entry.
See you on the Front Page!

Thanks GB - looks great now - phew!
Yes, collaborative Entries are a massive challenge to put together... I'm proud of how it turned out, but I need a break now before even contemplating volunteering to co-ordinate another one 
Not easy to sub, either, with all the different 'voices' in them, so thank you for taking that on
