IS YOUR DAD A DIY DISASTER
HANDY ANDY WITH DOOR & HINGE 200 PIXELS : Handy Andy fixes the door Do you have half-built cupboards in the kitchen, a bathroom with most of the tiles still in the boxes, shelves in danger of falling down? In short, is your Dad a disaster when it comes to Home DIY?

As part of Father's Day celebrations, WD-40 – Britain's favourite problem solver for anything squeaky, rusty, jammed or dirty – is conducting a national search for 'Britain's Worst DIY Dad.' So now is the time to expose your Father's failures at home improvements and his bungling attempts at jobs around the house. For the man who wins the title there's a very special Father's Day present - professional help from one of the country's experts – TV's 'Handy' Andy Kane.

All you have to do to enter the competition is fill in the blank in the following sentence. "My Dad has a half-finished __________________ at home and he can't complete the job. He needs WD-40 and Handy Andy."

The worthy winner of the competition who earns the crown of Britain's Worst DIY Dad will have 'Handy' Andy Kane come to their home and help them finish the project for which they lack the skill to complete themselves.

There will also be nine national runners-up who will each receive a WD-40 toolbox, a signed 'Handy' Andy DIY book, WD-40 product and £100 gift vouchers to spend at their local DIY centre.
A shortlist of ten candidates will be chosen by the judges and they will be required to submit a photograph of the unfinished project for final judging.

WD-40, which cleans, protects, lubricates and drives out moisture, is the most useful multi-purpose spray around for anyone cleaning up after young children, and those who need a little extra DIY help. It has literally thousands of different uses in the home and garden.

WD-40 want people across the UK to be creative and experimental with how they use WD-40 and send in their ideas before the end of May 2004. .

Anyone with a suggestion should send them to: WD-40 Great Ideas, PO Box 42, South East Delivery Office, Manchester, M12 6AY or email greatideas@wd40.co.uk

WD-40 is available from DIY and automotive stores, supermarkets, garage forecourts and all good independent retailers priced from £2.49.
