Most famously was the consolation prize, the Blankety Blank chequebook and pen, which Les would often deliberately mis-quote as "The Blankety Blank cheque pen and book." This consisted of a cheap-looking silver trophy in the shape of a cheque book

# I thought for years
that it was like having a load of cheques that you could just fill out and blankety blank would honour them.

I never understood why it was second prize...

My naivety, would it seems, know no bounds...
