The February competition closed at 0800.

The consensus view is 4420

It was disappointing to see the number of entries for February (51)
sightly down on the entries for January (59)

MoneyAm give the winner an excellent prize, so it'd be great if everyone could "have a go". Entries are taken for the following month at any time up during the previous month.
