    "Come and have a look what you could have won" is probably one of the cruelest things you can say to a contestant..

    It was either a caravan or speed boat. Not much use is a speed boat unless you are James Bond racing down the Thames.

    Or a fitted kitchen, or a base model Mini Metro, lots of daft prizes that were impossible to share between two people. :confused

    Was well known that drinkers down the pub would be approached and the guy would go " hey mate do ya wanna buy a fitted kitchen ?"

    Loads of kitchens and speed boats were being flogged this way.

    Honest.

    A sad day. My copy of his live album, Face To Face, was literally worn through I played it so much. One of the few great wordsmiths of our generation..

    Last surviving member of The Dambusters has died just short of his 101st birthday.

    RIP George Johnson. Well earned rest sir.
