New Charity Competition - Predict the Lira Exchange Rate

[villain]

Well done, Highlander.

I am genuinely amazed that my guess of 7.39 was the closest.

It would of course be totally remiss of me not to follow every other single "winner" on this Forum and ask scunner to ensure that the wonderful Embrace Charity receive my winnings.

Thanks for starting the competition scunner

Why am I not surprised - thank you John, on behalf of the fine ladies (and as I am reminded, often) gentlemen of Embrace - re-donating the winning prize fund obviously doubles the money raised and given to the charity concerned - allowing them to do double the magic locally. We have an incredible record of winners 'refusing' the prize. So much so that when I won the golf one I wanted the money but was too embarrassed to say so!

Only kidding - a great all round result for all. Mavis will be choked up - guaranteed

Keith you are right as usual..  I am choked up over this .Especially Highlander  donating his winnings . Absolutely fantastic so huge thanks to him and to all the people who participated in the competition. We are so very grateful as it will enable us to help even more children with health problems

It's a shame you feel uncomfortable about accepting your winnings.  It shouldn't be that way as you have already kindly contributed by taking part so no obligation to donate again - although if someone posts an assumption that the winnings will be donated, it does put pressure on I guess.

[Highlander]

Bluwise I do apologise if I suggested that there is an assumption that winnings will be donated. That is certainly not the case - it is entirely up to the individual. I am happy to pay out any winnings because people, like scott and yourself, are so generous towards the 3C's.

I also sincerely hope that the mis assumption does not deter people from participating in the future.

No H, not you at all.  Nothing you said or posted suggested this in any way and my apologies if you thought that.
The effort you continually put in is awesome and of course entirely your (or anyone else's) choice to donate the winnings back.
It was another's post that read to me that they suspected you would give the winnings back….unfair pressure on you too in my opinion.

You have my utmost respect for the tireless effort you put in to raising money on here H - no matter how many times I have to read them to understand the process 

[Scunner]

The winnings are winnings - winners can do whatever they like with them
