Easy Roger, I might just swap my labels onto my first-prize winning stout.
Long live SHA(T)!

If you don't are you going to be like the guy at the national who became quite abusive when he didn't win the prize he clearly believed he was travelling to Bristol to collect?

I can't believe that, how silly!

It's ok hoping for the best, but to actually believe it is another......

It actually got quite unpleasant, and it was dragged on via email. Not only did the individual have little real clue as to how competitions function, believed that nobody judging should be allowed to enter, and made wild accusations that it was rigged in favour of judges and Bristolians (which I was able to prove was statistically inaccurate, and reiterated the point about anonymization). They also became quite defamatory about me and certain other judges.

Personally, I'm looking forward to sampling some fine Winter Warmers, and then a few more!

I'd ban him from future competitions and circulate your experiences to other competition organisers.

That's fighting talk that is. You going to make me send the heavies round Rog? ;)

Besides, clearly that trophy will be mine! ;) (yes I realise there isn't really a trophy)
Burns stuff. And makes beer. Usually not at the same time.
