Absolutely Bizarre - I received a WTC.....

......to say I've won a runners up prize of a framed family portrait worth £300 with Simon Anderson Photograph. The Lady I spoke to said I'd applied for the Center Parcs holiday but I'd won the runners up prize.

The only post I can find is this one from JULY!!!!!

What's this all about - how come it's taken 3 months to get in touch? Anyway - we're off to Keswick on Monday 27th for the photoshoot. May aswell spend the weekend there as well and have a little holiday in the lakes!

Thank you so much mattytunfor the OP:T Hope I don't get razzed into buying more photo's when we're down there though.:rolleyes:

    Because you are about to be punted for an awful lot more I would think, just remember to take your "prize" and walk away without being tempted by the bargain price portfolio you will be offered.
