    What's odd is that the site still appears to be receiving entries despite the closing date still being advertised as 13th.

    It's ALL very strange, I have to say.

    I think that happens quite often - they won't accept entries, but a lot of companies seem to be very slow when updating their websites at the end of competitions.

    I'm sure if any MSErs had won they'd have been notified by now:A

    There seems to be something dodgy going on with this one as the original thread got pulled.....

    It looks as if this one hasn't been judged yet, if I remember right there were runner up prizes as well, so would have expected someone on here to have heard something.

    What is mysterious is that the comp has disappeared completely from the MSE site. Not to be found in the OP's post, comps closing 13/07, game over, or anywhere. Is that usual? :confused:

    I went to a couple of the shops mentioned, but couldn't see anything that could have been code words in the windows. I was too shy to ask in the shop :o , so didn't even get one entry into the competition :( Where did you find the 5 passwords?

    Each shop which was supposed to have a password in the window has their own website. I just scoured the websites for brand names, designers, collections etc, anything that looked like it could be a password. Took a while, but guessed a few.:D

    The site is still open but if you click on competition at the top now, it says "Thank you for your interest, the competition is now closed. The winners will be notified."

    Would be nice if they actually told us all who the winners were!

    Anyone ever heard anything? I emailed the addy but no-one ever replied.

    Anyone in London fancy visiting one of the jewellers and asking the name of the winners?

    Clever you...
    Why didn't I think of that
    Can you remember any of the passwords? Were they obvious after they went through?
    Teachers open the door, but you must enter by yourself.
