[Leica] OT Woohhooo! A lottery win AND a Premium Bond win!!!

[mark at whitedogs.co.uk (Mark Pope)]

Hi Frank,

I'm counting my blessings - 1.6% of the 18mm or 0.95% of the WATE in the 
bag and counting...

I celebrated with a particularly fine single cask Miltonduff (Speyside).

I was lucky enough to be given ?1,000 worth of premium bonds, so there's 
a fair chance of the odd win.  I had ?50 win a couple of years ago.

The lottery syndicate is just a bit of fun.  I'd love to see the faces 
of the big wigs if we did get a big win...

Cheers

Mark
