So I have placed it with my recently discarded bank cheque books which, in about another twenty years, will be about as rare as one of these. This is a rare item today, worth a lot on eBay. Les was the funniest comedian and my personal favourite host because of the way he always took the mickey out of the rubbish prizes (and guests!).Īnd if the main prizes were that bad, I bet you can't imagine what the consolation prize would be, can you?Ĭheap? They were so cheap that they drowned out the sound of my budgerigar's chirps!īecause I am a sad, geeky banking guy who collects sad, geeky banking things and, for about six months, I've been trying to get a Blankety Blank Cheque Book and Pen!Īnd I finally tracked one down on eBay and here it is:īut why would I spend good money on this cheap rubbish?
