Nice logic...but one I have used without success yet. Hopefully this year though...

Automatic entry after 5 refusals isn't it ?
I thought they announced that this year.

Although a 7 year old would still be disqualified for being under-age !

I know there have been quite a few comments re the amount of charity places. However, what I really object to is that FLM is starting to be hijacked by the corporate freebit market, in the same way that other leading sporting events are (rugby, tennis, football etc). A friend has a guaranteed place on the FLM from one of his suppliers, hence avoiding the ballot, paying for a golden bond place etc + has been gloating!

How many back doors are there?

The allocation of places should be taken away from FLM itself and put in the hands of a separate body now, which represents the needs and wishes of runners themselves and is not out to make money from a monopoly position. The whole thing seems to have moved past the position of being a bad joke to something calling out for overhaul and reform.
