Hi guys

I've not won (yet!) but just entered this £1000 on air Smooth radio competition posted by Lakshmi7 (Thanks Lakshmi7!) and 5 mins later got a ring back inviting me on air this week. https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3720685

I've never done an on air comp before so I'm a bit nervous. Also, I've never heard this one on Smooth radio before so does anyone know how hard the questions are - is it general knowledge or current affairs questions?

Also they said that 2 answers will be given away on air - one around 5:30pm today and one just before 7am tomorrow. I'll do my best to listen out but if any fellow MSErs listen anyway a PM would be great!
Any help gratefully recieved. Wish me luck! :beer:

Thanks again Lakshmi7

    I've been on it too, it is quite scary! I was nervous and I thought the questions were really hard. I got to question 8 but only got 3 right. The qusetions are general knowledge but mine were mostly questions that my great gran would have known. Good luck heres hoping you get them all right :D
    Never regret. If it’s good, it’s wonderful. If it’s bad, it’s experience.

    As expected it was very tough so didn't win - I got 5 out of the 10 right. Oh well it's all experience I suppose!
