Just missed out on £1000 ☹️☹️

I’m such an idiot!!

Entered a radio competition yesterday- if they phoned you had to answer with ‘Hello Ian’

I actually had it in my head all day, then when they phoned, I said ‘Hello’ what an idiot!!!

I have won a t-shirt though.
So gutted!

Hope someone else on here wins it 🤞

    Aww unlucky. I try not to enter radio comps where i might have to answer a time dependant call/on air call because i know i'd muck it up or just not answer in time. Hope you get a nice win soon to make up for it.
