Aunt and Uncle were on holiday in Scotland and driving round for the day and the Daily Express had a competition to win a 205 1.9 GTI, their card matched the numbers printed in the paper, had to be claimed by 3pm so the race was on to find a phone box in the next 20 minutes to claim the prize, when he got it a chap from the VW garage to it away and they got a brand new Polo and the trade in for theirs and the balance.

just shy of £4k at musselburgh races a few years ago, backed the winner in all 7 races plus a few eachway ones as well, all single bets tho, if i'd backed them in an accumulator i probably would be retired now

Well of course I will.... just a touch of the forelock would be nice when I address said plebs mind....
Had a fun supper with the family a few years ago when Gladmans were expressing a lot of interest in some housing land...
Daughter Numero Uno expressed a lot of dismay about the loss of a substantial area of land until I explained IF we were fortunate enough to get said land away for housing, then the loss of the land available for shooting was going to be small beer indeed.
I suggested that there would be enough to buy a shooting estate in Dorset/Devon AND a nice bit of land on the Scottish Borders, (this side!) and keep the home farm
I got the nod from her then...... especially when I said she could take the shooting season off.... Great fantasy evening... We are still here, peasant farming!!

Couple of wine bottles once in a blue moon. Best though was a win of two tickets on the Herald of Free Enterprise to Zeebrugge. Won at a Cubs raffle in I think 1986. No one else interested to go - Never got used .
.I won a big Smeg fridge. Only thing it was pink, as the draw was for breast cancer charity, with all the prizes being pink and electrical, as donated by a local electrical shop. I actually had won a small pink TV, but when I went to the prize giving ( pic in local paper), a little old lady that lived in a flat, had actually won the fridge. She was upset as had no room for it, so we swapped prizes

In 1993 we bought a second hand car and won a £1000 holiday voucher which paid half of a holiday to Florida.
Race night £90.
My son won a corporate package for 2 at Sunderland ( when they were Premier League). 5 course meal and we could have drunk ourselves to a standstill but I had to drive and he was only 11
Multiple bottles, perfume, sports tops and a toilet mat in various raffles.
In a previous life was entertained in various hotels including Gleneagles, Turnberry, Old Course, Belfry, Nice, Stockholm and Antwerp. No such thing as a free lunch of course.
