Bet The National Lottery bosses are laughing all the way to the bank tonight...

[lardhelmet]

They've just saved themselves £45,000!

[chrissa1]

Why??

[Tilly2]

How?

[boxtops]

how? They gave me three quid last night!

[MASS1961]

Your post came up BEFORE she got the beatles answer wrong???????? How??????

[boxtops]

I don't understand, lardy... :-(

[lardhelmet]

Because the contestant thought Pete Best played the piano in the Beatles in the 1960's

[lardhelmet]

cos I knew the answer Mass

[Tilly2]

Didn't watch it. What's the answer? And the question.

[chrissa1]

I often wonder why these people go on these programmes,(apart from greed of course), when their GK is not good. There was a chap on The Chase last week that Guessed that The Princes Trust was started by Prince Charles!!! How many years has it been going? 20 - 25!!

He said he'd read something about it last week in the papers. S'truth.

Q for Tilly.

For £45k What instrument did Pete Best play in the 60's with the Beatles?

[Tilly2]

The drums. EVERYBODY knows that!

[lardhelmet]

Tilly -the choices were guitar, piano or drums.

I agree Chrissa - some of them are not very good

[Tilly2]

Where's my £45K? Do you want my bank details?

[Tilly2]

Why does Dale increasingly look like a tailor's dummy?

[lardhelmet]

And they've been prepped to finish all their responses with his name,which drives me up the wall.

"I'd love to win £60,000, Dale" (wouldn't we all?) "and I'm not going to let the fact that I'm as thick as two short planks deter me... Dale"

Er...chrissa1, the Prince's Trust was started by Prince Charles.

You have to pass a test to take part in these shows, I guess they choose some of the less bright ones to save money.

[chrissa1]

I know SJP but he had to guess it, that's my point.

[Jemisa]
