Ever won something you shouldn't have?

Strange title, but reading some of the posts reminded me of something that happened to me at around 12 years old.

There was a colouring competition in the local paper. The prize was to go to see a film (I think it was A View To A Kill). Anyway me and my mate coloured in our pictures and I entered with his version - which was way better than mine.

And I won with that picture...:embarassed:

    I won a Blue Peter prize winners badge and goodies from the York Minster and Jorvik after I entered a competition to design a new ceiling boss after the huge fire that destroyed some of the Minster. Was really pleased to be a runner up and took all of my things to school to show off. What I never admitted to anyone was that it was actually my mum who drew/designed the picture! :o
    Most recent wins: IPad, Jamie Magazine yearbook, Links of London friendship bracelet, Baumatic ice cream machine! :j

    I won tickets to the Exorcist (sp) in a local newspaper comp. You entered by submitting a review of the film, which I had seen. When they discovered I was 14 they wouldn't let me have the tickets!!!
