I won a mug.
Still have it.
I won a mug, made a Virgin tv installer a tea in it and the CUNT stole it. His number is 07557 232428 if anyone want to sign him up to anything dodgy.

I never won a watch.
You made me go and find this image - first time I met up with
@Maurice and
@Nefarious .
Incase anyone has just got excited at the sight of their identical forearm twin - Maurice is the model.

Otherwise known as the 'cheap part of Banstead'. Good chippie though.
My parents are in the village.

I won the second gen Jorg, but it only ever worked intermittently despite replacing the battery, so it gathered dust for many years and then I had a clear out and sold it as a fixer upper on ebay last year. I never liked it that much anyway TBH.

I won a Road Angel. Immediately sold it for a surprising amount on ebay.

I won a Road Angel thing too. Forgot all about it until I sold the business last year and found it still in its cellophane. Think I got eighty quid for it.
Cheers for hosting Matty.

I, too, won a Road Angel. Straight on eBay.
Thankfully this place has 0 upkeep...like the old gaff it moderates itself thanks the the unqiue clientell.
If you want some nostalgia, you can get a tickle from here...alas you can see some post titles, but not the content.
