Each week we are visiting local junior school children and putting their favourite jokes in

print.

Friday's page is sponsored by communications and marketing expert Stuart Pearcey MCIPR who runs Words and Spaces Ltd and www.wordsman.co.uk

As usual, we are calling on readers to vote for the best joke by logging on to www.thisisgrimsby.co.uk and the comedy king or queen who gets the highest number of votes will be presented with a book token and an As Easy As ABC certificate during their school

assembly.

Today's young comedians are six children from Elliston Junior School, Cleethorpes, so get ready to have your ribs tickled with this week's jokes...
