BBC News Online – A grandmother in the UK enters a cake competition, winning 2nd place. She was delighted, until she found out she was the only entry in the contest. That’s just not nice.
Jenny Brown, 62, entered her Victoria Sponge into the competition and was initially pleased to have come second.
But she was left shocked when a friend revealed to her that she was the only person to take part.
The contest was organised by the Wimblington Sports Committee and judges marked down the cake because it had indentations from a wire rack.
What was that? How do you get second place to … NOBODY!?
Although the cake was not deemed fit to win the competition, Ms Brown said it was soon polished off with no complaints.
You might think that’s all to the story. Maybe there’s a little something off with Grandma Brown:
She said her own baking was subject to another strange decision. “About 11 years ago I entered a show with some fruit scones. I was the only entrant but I came third.”
Could we do this with some of our politicians who run un-opposed?
I guess this gives a new meaning to the phrase “second to none.”
