£ 510.00 Argos vouchers

Dukes of Hazard DVD
War of the Worlds DVD
Extras DVD

A mountain bike

A PS2 with 2 games

A hand held TV

and 3 cases of wine = 18 bottles.


Just a bit pi$$ed off that the prizes will be distributed between work colleagues.

When they've done f*** all to win the prizes, its annoyed me.


Still, this time 1 hour ago I didn't have anything. It was like being on the generation game conveyor belt.

No, this is Pucka !

I had done well in certain aspects of my job but was only informed this morning that I was due some prizes! I’d normally have won one thing at a time but because I hadn’t claimed, there was a stockpile of unclaimed goodies.

Nice.

What kind of place do you work at ?
(Sounds a bit like a young offenders program, can you swap your wine for cider?)

Because the bosses are tts basically.

They don't like to miss out. Its all very 'bitchy' if somebody wins goods.

What annoys me most is that I will pay tax on the winnings so I now have to note who has what and submit it with my p-whatever so I don't get over taxed.

And then when the bosses win their jolly trips to Dubai, I'm gonna demand to know how they intend splitting that prize between all of us.

Your "prize" will be to drive them to the airport

If you had only won one prize would you have had to share, i'd keep an eye on any future prizes

What kind of competion was it that you have to pay tax on the winnings and share the spoils with your colleagues? Was it work related?
