So just checking my emails and saw one off Hallam FM with the header congratulations. So clicked on it only for it to be an email congratulating one of their preseneters on becoming a dad!

I got that too. I immediately unsubscribed. The 'orrible lot.
Got one yesterday too that opened with "Congratulations", from a survey site I use. It turns out I've done enough surveys now to be entered into their quarterly draw - YIPPEE! Who needs an ITV win after that?
