This isn't we-won-a-prize week, but we did win another prize. And seeing as this one was on the telly, it seems churlish not to give you a blow by blow account, almost as if you'd watched it on the box:
The show begins. It's on prime time ITV, just like Coronation Street and Heartbeat. Proper telly.
Here's Gordon. He'll be presenting the prize for 'Business Achievement'.
"Could it be us?" Adam wonders. Jon and Richard say nothing and smile, whilst the women behind them fall asleep.
"Blimey," says Adam, "we've won." Jon is excited and quickly looks down to check that his shoes are on the right feet.
"Thank you Gordon" says Jon. "And good luck with the new job."
"I knew we shouldn't have let him collect the prize," think Jon and Richard.
Rubbish captions aside, we were very surprised and extrememly chuffed to win. As Adam said in his acceptance speech, "I'd just like to thank my hairdresser" we couldn't have done it without the people who drink our drinks. Without you, we'd be a useless business. So thank you, again. We've got a lot to be grateful for.
You're starting to sound like an older sibling with all your new shiny awards!! Now I know how my little bro feels :)

Congrats xx
If your product was naff you wouldn't have been there, but its not & it better than any rivals you now have, the purest & its yummy, just glad that your success has been recognised.
Think its just reflects your brillance in seeing the need for such a product itself (bout time someone did), the marketing & in our house we all love you sense of humour as well as the drink itself lol...
