I never know about tickets, what sorts are your name only or whether they can be given away

Any tickets comps that I have won are either sent to me or give name on door, not sure the comp always tells you though,

I'm with kimmywal on this one - if I really want the other prize I'll enter anyway, and then either use the tickets (I'm up for new experiences!) or give them to someone I know would enjoy them if possible.

Actually it happened with my Berkeley Hotel win... it included tickets to London Fashion Weekend, which I did actually want to go to but ended up not being able to for whatever reason. My sister used them and picked them up on the door - she was honest and said they would be in my name but I can't come, it was fine.

Hi all,
Has any bright spark got the answer to this local 'phone in' radio quiz - it's been running for three weeks. There's no prize, but it's driving me nuts!

"A couple take their three year old for a day out. The lad/girl ends up costing them £150,000. Why?? What did he/she do?"

From all the wrong answers already given - including mine- nothing to do with the nipper crashing the parents expensive car. But could be something to do with a 'famous' car - or that could be a red herring.

Any suggestions please??
Ta.

Probably dropped a sausage roll and got caught by an over zealous environment officer, fined but refused to pay it and ended up with court costs :rotfl:

No idea, sorry :think:

three year old what? do they actually say child? xxxx

Ta toniq,
Yes, a child.
From a few of the wrong answers I've heard, I don't think it happened in the UK.
