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.

Tat Compo!At our annual village fete, we have a competition to find out who can win the worst possible prize from any of the tombola stalls.
Afetr a few libations in the beer tent, we split up and meet back with our crap:
3rd place: A tube of toothpaste. Opened.
Runner Up: A plastic palm tree, two inches high, from Tracy Island (apparently).
Winner: A washbag from a British Airways flight (given out free FFS!), that was missing the toothpaste (lucky we won some), the socks and the shaving kit.
