Won £500 prize and nearly said get lost!

I got a phone-call Friday afternoon…
I nearly told them to get lost because the first sentence I heard was "Hello, it's Andrew from Freshnet" and I thought he was a cold-caller from a cable or broadband company.
Turns out that that's how to pronounce Freixenet (the cava brand) and I'd won a £500 Gift Card to spend at Hobbs and a bottle of Freixenet.
I didn't get m'wife much of an anniversary present this year as I was ill the week before and didn't get to the shops - I think I'm now forgiven
I can't find the comp on here but if you remember posting it - Thank you…:beer:
