Ah, Quiz Call ... I remember it well.. Back when they started, when
they used to have actual puzzles, rather than the endless
guessing-games they have now, I won about ?10K off them before they
exercised a clause in the T&Cs and asked me not to enter again.  It
paid off our credit cards and got us a new car, though ...  Didn't use
the premium rate numbers; those were for the mugs - at the time, they
had a free website entry that would call us back. Much cheaper!
