So my mum phones me and says: "Tell your dad to pick me up behind the shop after work, I've won a prize and it's massive." So I'm like alright whatever.
So she gets home and the box is huge, like 3ft tall by 5ft wide. It says 'Falcon Cycles - Claud Butler' on the side. And I'm like, why have you got a bike? She says she won it at work as part of a competition ran by Casio the watch maker. It was a nation-wide competition and the more Casio watches you sell, the more 'points' you get in the national league table, meaning a bigger better prize. So apparently from November - January she sold enough Casio watches to be in the top #11 throughout the country, as the top prize was a car, then 10 of these bikes.
So I look on the side of the box and it has the make/model, turns out it's this bike: http://claudbutler.co.uk/cycle-range/range/claud-butler-road-touring/b2845
So basically she got a £450 bike for free, she didn't even know there was a competition going. Shame it wasn't the car as that would have been more pratical, but hey, I'll take the bike.
Here's a picture of it:
So yeah, my story for today

Note, handlebars are in the wrong way, just put them in like that while we were connecting the wires etc, will turn them around later.
