False Hope

Just had a missed call from an 0207 number while I was in the shower, I got all excited thinking it could be an ITV win as I had entered a lot of postal competitions lately. When I rang back it was capital FM and she mentioned if I had entered the competition , but then said they were just doing shout outs, I can't help but think they only said that to avoid telling me I had missed a prize.

Just wanted to let people know :)

    Perhaps the one where you had to answer your phone with a ROAR..... but think that was Kiss and not Capital
    Yes, I know there is no "R" in the word dream in my username - it was setup in memory of my grandson :A
  • Ahh yes it might of been, trust me to get that competition out of all the ones I have entered this week, I'm just going to answer all 020 numbers straight away from now on, thanks :)

    Capital are pretty quick at letting you know if you've won, so if they rang today it would have been a comp that ended yesterday - but after a quick search there are none that ended that you "thanked" so I don't know if you've entered them or not.

    And, from experience, they would have said you'd won a prize unless it was one that they had to talk to you on air or by a certain time.
    Thanks to all posters :A
