When I was a child I was fleeced out of £150. My dad is the Chairman of a charitable radio station and I bought a raffle and won, however, I put it on the side whilst I sold a ticket and left it. However, the number was the same digits as something I owned at the time, so I knew them. When they was shouted out I was made up, and when walking back to the draw I noticed Nigel the fat baulding man with a beard had stole my ticket and gave me his. So someone who worked for the damm place fleaced a kid. Charitable my arse. My dad didn't believe me, nor did anyone else. He winked at me too as he drove off in his Nissan Primera.

Bastards, Benni.

That's just ravin.. the one thing i'v learned in life is the most honest lookin ppl are usually the most dishonest i.e n e think to do with coppers n law n charity's if u looked into most charity's u'd be shocked to see how much actually goes to the causes n how much is admin, admitted theres still proper dodgy lookin ppl that are dodgy though but u usually see em a mile off lol

About 15 years ago i won a load of football gear from winning a comp in Shoot magazine, was meant to be a whole team stripe, but as i did play for a team at the time, because the manager always picked his son and his mates, i choose a load off different gear and sold some.

In Mid-November I won £250 of jewellery vouchers just in time for the wife's Christmas!

She won some panto tickets for Aladdin in Edinburgh so that was a fair trade!

About 1992 our oldest won one of the original Nintendo game consoles in a newspaper competition but the Evening News couldn't seem to get him the prize for weeks (or maybe even months). When Nintendo got involved we got a big box of goodies to say sorry, and I still have the embroidered X-Wing bomber jacket somewhere.

In 1985 I won a newspaper competition for a bottle of Bezique, a T Shirt and a home HiFi with a (relatively new to the market) CD player - the P&J tried to keep the speakers though!
