I won a McD's art compo... yet didn't
Many years in the past (circa. 1984) the local McD's held an art competition. My next door neighbours daughter wanted to partake in it but being only 7 she wasn't a particularly good artist.

Thus, I was called upon to use my less then average artistic skills to help her out. As I just said, my skills at drawing were probably only a bit better then the neighbours daughter (I was only 10 myself back in '84) but what skill I had was good enough to make a fairly good copy of a poster that had all the McD crew (Ronald, Hamburgler et al). I spent a good couple of hours on this A3 sized picture and said neighbours daughter was chuffed with the result and did the colouring in after I was finished.

As the title clearly shows, it only went and won the competition and it was on display for several weeks in the store. Neighbours daughter gets a bunch of prizes for mostly my hard work.

I got nothing and I'm still waiting for that McD's meal I was promised as my reward.
