I was very lucky to win not one but two solid silver fountain pens last summer in the Sunday Times. I have just won a Whitackers Almanack in The Saturday Telegraph GK crossword. I would be interested to know what others have won.

Catholic Herald again, last week. Prize was a DVD this time. It is usually a book.

Also won Nardini fish tea for two a month or so ago. A bit smelly to keep in the trophy cabinet, though.

I once won a beautiful Colibri pen, can't remember what crossword, but sadly I can't get the refills any more!

terry as was

Could that be because it's actually a lighter.

No terry as was, it is very definitely a pen. :0) Gold with blue enamel, and a rollerball refill. Apparently they are collectable, but I've never tried to sell it!

They have a web site if you google it.

I once won a hideous Tea Set in a raffle...

Unfortunately I had actually donated it...

Truly an very unwanted Wedding present.
