Radio competitions

A funny thing happened to me this morning...
Carl and I were listening to the local radio this morning while decorating and a competition came on to recognise a clip of 80's music. Carl got it straight away (China in your Hand by T'Pau) and got annoyed at how stupid the people entering the competition must be. In the end I said I'd text in with the answer. With the competition only minutes from closing, I ran upstairs and logged onto the Chiltern website, got the number and text the answer with my name and where I live and pressed send. I got a text back saying thanks for entering and then a couple of minutes later they had a draw for the winner and suprise suprise....I didn't win. Oh well I thought better luck next time.
However, the story doesn't end there. We carried on decorating for a couple of hours and then suddenly my mobile rang (I have a new mobile by the way and it took a while to register that it was my phone!) I answered it and it was a guy from Chiltern radio saying I'd won a prize of a dinner for 2 somewhere in Luton. Confused? I was! So I spoke to him (it was being recorded for play on air later.) I must have sounded like a right twit...not very excited as I thought it must be a joke...until he asked me my favourite song....and he had to prompt me with "China in My Hand by T'Pau". So I had to say that was my favourite song ... which of course it isn't! He then said he'd call me back later for my details.
Carl and I were now very confused. We carried on listening to the radio, but it was a female presenter on...so I thought maybe it'll be on later, quite looking forward to listening to my 5 minutes of fame.
A while later, it was still puzzling me, then I looked at the text message I'd recieved...it was from Chiltern 97.6...and we'd been listening to Chiltern 96.9. So what, you are probably thinking, but Bedfordshire, being weird and all has 2 different Chiltern radio stations (I only found this out for sure when I looked again at the website) I'd been listening to Chiltern Bedford all day, but entered a competition using the text number of Chiltern Herts, Beds and Bucks!!
We then raced around trying to find a radio that would pick up that frequency...but alas, I'd missed my five minutes of fame :o( I did get a phonecall after the show had ended and it was from the Ben Dudley (the DJ) so I gave my details and he said to look out for the prize in the post.
So somehow I managed to win a prize on a competition I didn't actually enter...great!! Maybe it's time to start playing the lottery again....
