“And don’t forget peeps anyone can win these competitions. ”

I won one of the flat ones once with the aid of closed eyes and a lucky pin, pretty much. Still trying to win the Cheltenham one and Bobby’s jumps TTF, still getting battered by the flatheads in those It’s all fun and games and you can award yourself cake as a consolation prize anyhow.
