    Have you ever seen two enormously fat blokes win a campervan? Has that ever happened?

    I remember seeing one where the runners up were handed that trophy and one of them made some sarcastic comment, and you should have seen Jim's face. Saw a darker side to Jim that day...

    You're right it was the 'Special Prize' on the prize board and the 'Star Prize hiding behind Bully.' There was no mystery prize. Even though the nature of the Star Prize was a mystery until you won it or didn't ( hence the 'look what you could have won' line). But according to Wikipedia 'Sometimes in the earlier series, less lavish Star Prizes (fitted kitchens and the like) were given away so as to fit within the IBA's prize limits'

    In my defence it was 35 years ago...

    That's handy, the mutt got me up before 6am to go outside and then having nothing else to do, I took a glance at the Tesco delivery slot bookings and found a free one. They are like gold dust at the moment!

    The forthcoming one is in a couple of weeks, which suits, as I had a recent one from Iceland which is keeping me going.

    Getting home grocery deliveries from the major supermarkets in this area is a bit tricky to say the least at the moment.

    Damn glad I bought an extra freezer as all the problems started kicking off a couple of months ago.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
