The Vibe was not the best and the draw was a major f*ck up but I've too much admiration for Smiley and what he has done to honour Philip's name that I'm not going to join in any witchhunt.
That's why I've been quiet on the subject of the raffle so far.
Sorry you missed out on the guitar.
If I'd won it I'd have given it away to someone who could play it - or swapped it for a hamper ;-)

Smiley is allowed to make mistakes like all of us - I only vaguely know him, he doesn't know me from one Lizzy t-shirt to the next - I hope I don't came over too sychophantic.

Let's hope next year's Vibe is better and better organised and that the experience hasn't totally soured you.
