    You can remove the 09 from the title as we are in that year;)

    Are they easy?
    I don't work in Costa coffee so don't know the answers so maybe you could enlighten us?:)

    1. What is a barista? Is it someone who
      :DIs trained to make coffee to perfection
      Pushes a button to make the coffee
      Thinks mediocre coffee is ok
    2. How are our baristas trained?
      For five minutes on their first day
      With a coffee machine manual
      :DWith rigorous professional training at the Costa Academy
    3. How is the perfect cup of coffee made for our coffee lovers?
      By pushing a button on a machine
      :DBy hand, by our expert baristas
      By going to Italy to fetch it
    4. How often does a barista check the coffee machinery to make sure the perfect cup of coffee is served?
      :DAt least once a day
      Every two weeks
      When they feel like it
    5. How is the Costa Barista of the Year competition judged?
      Skill and dress sense
      Their taste in coffee
      :DPresentation, skill, personality, passion for coffee

    When I entered these answers I glanced at page & read "Congratulations, you scored 0/5. Please enter your details to enter the draw" :confused: (or words to that effect.)
    Checked again with Mr GB's details in case I'd read it wrongly, and still got 0/5. Most odd!
    Worse things will have happened in the world today...

    Got 0/0 in IE, but 5/5 in FireFox browser - same answers :)
  • You only get to submit your details if you get them all right. I deliberately got them all wrong and was told to try again. So don't worry if it says 0/5 as long as you get the "CONGRATULATIONS" (ooooo I love that word! :o) message you should be ok. :)
  • I see you can enter this more than once

    Multiple entries from individuals will be permitted

    will let Gilla know
