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.

manchester tombolaoh and my mother teaches in a school in a rather gruesome part of manchester.
every christmas they have a school fete and all the children's families give donations as prizes for the raffle, tombola and other festive goodness.
until one year a little girl turned up clutching something. clearly desperate to contribute, she'd taken the bar of soap from the family bathroom. used, cracked and grey. with a nice glistening pube coiled neatly in the middle.
that did not go on the stall as the star prize...
