    Anyone else think the prize is a little unfair?
    Yes I do, they prolly assume that most people either have a mortgage or pay rent, but we all know what assuming does:rolleyes:

    It's not for a poor like me who affords to rent just a room (without a written agreement) :(
    I hope they will change it soon...

    The majority of people pay rent or a mortgage, so I don't see what the problem is. They also host a variety of other competitions for cash prizes.

    i agree with smaisey - its the prize, i dont see whats unfair about it, if you dont pay rent or a mortgage then (you're a lucky sod ) don't enter. it's kinda like saying a prize of a garden set is unfair because not everyone has a garden

    many pensioners don't pay rent because their incomes are so low - imagine what a difference just a fraction of this cash would make to them,
    I agree with Al

    Just a thought - would a prize like this affect benefits like housing benefit?
    This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!

    Current Pay Off Target : £1500 :mad:
