Who wants to be a millionaire?
The question was asked in Bruce’s Kitchen on Saturday evening, 26th January, and George (Rathlin), Denis (Ballycastle) and Collette (Inishowen) were gently encouraged to try their skills. All made a good job of answering questions, though nobody actually went home a penny richer. Prizes were given in crisps and chocolates (off to Weight Watchers now), and although Collette successfully climbed to the top of the questions list, Rathlin had some additional support from a junior team (Ryan and Pablo) and won the greatest quantity. Congratulations!
