I won four VIP passes to the Reading festival on the Bigger Breakfast.
I also won an art competition when I was 12 and got £100, a tour of the Tate Liverpool and my picture hangs in Merseyside Police HQ reception. Or it did. Don't know about now.

I won a calligraphy competition and my work was in Winchester Great Hall.
I was incensed to find it no longer is when I took Lusty recently.

Monty doesn't actually use computers he scribes his posts on to parchment then a highly trained monk imputs the letters into the magic box and then writes down all the replies and hands back to Monty so he may read them in the correct fashion, non of this "virtual writing nonsence"

I recall my picture wasn't there during a refurb and my grandad was raising the roof in reception.
"My grandaughter is a talented young lady. She's going to be heartbroken. It's a terrible loss."
