Competitions you don't see any more (Nostalgia)

Who remembers those quiz channels on TV?
I won about £3000 in total (mostly small individual wins) from ringing at times when they were not busy - so 5-6 pm I used to dash home from work to win £25 or £50 LOL
The cheques always turned up.
They had to give you a free way of entering so I bought a second phone just to use re-dial when they were on.
I once got on a Saturday night when the cash prize was £1000 when they were asking what immediately comes to mind when you hear the word 'Eurovision' - I said Terry Wogan but the answer they wanted was Ireland as they had a habit of winning it often at that time.

I think they were closed down because it was proven that some quizzes had no definite right answer and were therefore unfair.

Happy days - you would think in this digital age somebody would try something like this again?

I miss the Sprinkle website! I never won any of the bigger prizes (there were lots of MSE winners though ), but they also gave away a £10 Amazon voucher every day and I think I won it about 5 times within a few months!




I'm sure I remember a Jet2 advent running last year?

EDIT: yes, here it is https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5939530jet2

That was different to the ones run the previous 2 years. The one I meant you got 3 goes a day I seem to remember a gingerbread man on the main screen when you had each go. It was this one and it ran for more days

I've been comping for 16 years or so. I'm always happy to hear about all your wins and I don't begrudge anyone anything.

However...

DAMN YOU ALL for flaunting your fish slices at me!

Seriously though. I'm going to use every bit of willpower I have to ignore the latest goddamn hummingbird competition.
