- Lobby_Lud abstract "Lobby Lud is a fictional character created in August 1927 by the Westminster Gazette, a British newspaper, now defunct. His name derived from the paper's telegraphic address, "Lobby, Ludgate". The character was used in readers' prize competitions during the summer period. Anonymous employees visited seaside resorts and afterwards wrote down a detailed description of the town they visited, without giving away its name. They also described a person they happened to see that day and declared him to be the "Lobby Lud" of that issue. Readers were given a pass phrase and had to try and guess both the location and the person described by the reporters. Anyone carrying the newspaper could challenge Lobby Lud with the phrase and receive five pounds (about £267.00 in 2015). People on holiday were known to be less likely to buy a newspaper. Some towns and large factories had holiday fortnights (called "wakes weeks" in the north of England); the town or works would all decamp at the same time. Circulation could drop considerably in the summer and proprietors hoped prizes would increase it.The phrase "You are (name) and I claim my five pounds" is often associated with Lobby Lud, despite being a similar idea thought up by a different paper.".
