Years ago when your and naive I was accosted by an attractive women handing out scratch cards at Piccadilly Station. Has a little scratch and she says “oh my God! You’ve win a cruise!”. I’m normally cynical, assume things are too good to be true, but she was lovely and could t possibly be lying to me I thought.
All I had to do was sign up to something that cost a few quid a month and then supposedly got me free entry/discounted drinks in certain Manchester bars. I thought I was being had, but still, for a cruise, not a bad deal.
Signed up, read the small print. The ‘cruise’ was pretty much a ferry from Hull to Norway and back. 2 nights. I never went, and never used the card. That showed them.
