Crappy PrizesCompetitions, raffles, give-aways... sure the prizes look great, but don't they always turn out a bit crap should you happen to win them?
The last raffle I bought tickets for, they'd just given away the all-expenses paid weekend in New York when my number came up. Rushing up to find out what I'd won, I was a little disappointed to be handed a box of "Biscuits for Cheese". Especially as they were busy serving the cheese course (complete with biscuits) as they drew the raffle.

Yearsago the old supermarket chain `keymarkets` think they were bought out by safeway or something.Anyways they had this scratch card where you could win cash and cars and the like and scratching one of the cards I actually won on one of them and the prize was...........
a can of peaches.
Oh and thinking about it there was the blue peter badge I won for doing some picture about the lord mayors show in the late 80`s.Bastard thing is that it never arrived and i was very down hearted as my mum had spent ages drawing that cat from dick whittington.
There is also the lenny Henry live album that I won from swap shop.I say won but actually bought it from a 2nd record shop for about 50p but it has his signature on and `swap shop prize winner` sticker on it.
