    Thankyou for all your kind comments. Im going to give the prize to my mum and dad. Theyve been married for 44 years and are the nicest people you would ever wish to meet. My Dad was diagnosed with lung & throat cancer last year and had to have his voice box & vocal chords removed. Weve all had a pretty tough time over the last year and i think they deserve something a bit special. Being a newbie, im not sure of the etiquette of giving prizes away but i hope you all dont mind.

    Regards

    Rob

    Don't be silly Rob, its your prize to do as you please with (ebay seems to be a popular option for some of the tangible prizes).

    Its a lovely thought to give it to your parents. I bet they're really proud of you. Well done again.
