Look! It's me in the Local PaperMost local papers will print any old rubbish. Far, far too many years ago I got into the Windsor, Slough and Eton Express after winning a fancy-dressed-bicycle competition. What they neglected to mention was that I was the only entrant.
What sad stuff have you been in your local rag for doing? Scan stuff in and show us if you can.

Bank job, (kinda)Won a competition in junior school that I didn't know I'd even entered, which involved painting a picture vaguely related to an area of town know as Round Green, (work out what town from that if you must), that was to go on display in the branch of Natwest in said same part of town. Didn't know it at the time but customers were voting as to which ones they liked the most and mine came a grand 2nd, (can't even remember what the painting was off but if I was 9 or 10 at the time chances are it was shit cos all kids art work is plainly rubbish).
Either way, prize was an afternoon looking around the inside of the bank, a t-shirt saying, 'Natwest is Best', (thankfully lost or turned into dusters ages ago), and our photo on page 13 of the local tat-rag holding our crappy poster paint efforts.
Not bad considering I didn't even know it was a competition and subsequently spent the afternoon wandering around wide-eyed and ever so slightly confuded by this turn of events.
