Thanks weeowens,
my phone rang yesterday and it was a local number but one I didn't recognise. Thought it might be about a job I applied for but it was a presenter from Minster FM :eek: - I wasn't sure whether I was on air but he was using his OTT presenter voice so I assumed I was. I hate speaking in public so immediately went into shock - heart racing and shaking. He asked if I knew why he was calling and I guessed it was a comp but couldn't remember what it was for so I just had to play dumb. He told me it was a comp for english heritage passes but I had to answer a history question before winning :eek: - it was a really easy question (which english king had 6 wives) but I was in such a panic I started doubting myself and the few seconds it took me to think it through seemed like hours. Obviously the answer was Henry VIII and I won the passes so thank you very much :beer:.
When I went back to look for the comp post (below) I remembered seeing the second post about the on air component but had already entered - I NEVER enter comps with an on air bit but somehow totally missed this then thought "never mind, what's the chances I'll be drawn" :rotfl:
