WinningI once won a gas boiler from The Guardian. Tell us about times you've won, and the excellent and/or crappy prizes you've lifted.

Disco DancingWay back in 1981 I managed to win not only the East Angling region of the Trust House Forte / Honda sponsored freestyle disco dancing championship, but also took a rather splendid Third place in the UK Finals.. prizes included a black and white tv set, promptly swapped for a Casio synthesizer and a Honda Melody moped. The cash totalled up to £350.
The funny part was the regional newspaper interviewed me, and being an unemployed oik they wanted to know what I'd spend my money on... having survived a summer on salads and cold showers, I thought it about time I paid off the electricity bill, and get myself re-connected.
My mother was mortified that I'd let anyone know. Let alone a countryside paper.
