Didn't the Radio Clyde prizes come as freebies from some record shop in East Kilbride ? I'm getting vague memories of them mentioning the place every five minutes.

Yeah, that's the reason I hardly enter competitions now, i'm not calling these £1 a minute phone lines. Fucking cheek.

Won the pools in the 80's £175. If Liverpool had not scored it would have been £15,000. some random £10 on the lotto with a big win of £45 a few years back :roll:

I was about 14 when I won my 1st comp, not really a competion, I had a cartoon published in a comic called 'krazy'. I got a £1 Postal Order and a sliding puzzle.

Over recent years I've won a Playstaion One from Radio Times and an Xbox in a pub raffle
