An 11-year-old boy was left disappointed 17 years ago when he found a promotional green Polo mint and was never awarded his promised prize.
But last week James Barnard, now 28, who lives in Surbiton, finally received the £10 he was still owed for finding the sweet. He was prompted to write by seeing a small child eating a green sweet.
That money could have gone towards replacing the battery pack in his beloved Gameboy, he said, which had melted from hours of play time.
In reply he received a letter from customer services executive Daniel Sanderson, plus a whole box of Polos. Mr Barnard has framed the cheque.
