Paging Scimitar

In this weeks copy of the Derbyshire Times there's a coupon for a free Stagecoach Dayrider plus ticket.

I completed all the necessary information and cut out the coupon (which I took to be the bottom part of the advert) but, when I handed it to the driver, he said he couldn't accept it as it had been separated from the rest of the advert!!

There was a broken line between the main body of the advert and the 'coupon' asking for personal details, I assumed that this was where it needed to be cut out. Aside from this I did have the (now separated) main body of the advert with me and he still said he couldn't accept it.

Is this right?

PS - what if I Sellotape the two halves together?

I would imagine so long as the whole of the section is in one piece it will be acceptable. I've had 2 of these today - didn't even know they were doing it until I  saw front page of DT in shop yesterday.
Note to self - keep up to date with notice board at work

Just checked with the Stagecoach office at the Tontine Road Coach Station and they confirmed that the driver should have accepted the coupon just as I had handed it to him.

Will try again next week - fingers crossed
