    What did you do? Send them a compliment letter? Or a complaint letter? Or a general begging letter?

    :rolleyes: Oooooh! I am so jealous!

    I suppose you could call it begging. :)

    I sent a nice email an explained about a hen party im organising.
    I was never expecting any companies to actually supply the booze lol.

    I would have been happy with a voucher off alochol or general boozey merchandise.

    Also today i recieved in the post...Tetley Teabag samples.
    £3 Birds Eye Voucher for Genuine Complaint
    £1 Cheque from Nestle after mentioning a dodgy Kit Kat.

    I have had two awesome things: firstly, a few years ago I cut myself on a metal Innocent water lid. I wrote and didn't exactly complain, more said "erm, this isn't so safe" and they sent a lovely letter of apology and a cool box full of smoothies :eek:
    That same year, my housemates and I were arguing about orange smarties - were they flavoured or not? I wrote to whoever makes them, and they replied saying yes, but they also sent me a mega bag full of orange smarties!

    That's amazing! I might try a compliment letter to Innocent! Good effort with the Smarties as well! I like Smarties but I developed a REALLY bad habit of swallowing them whole when I was a kid and now whenever I eat a Smartie I have to really really try hard to stop myself from swallowing it whole! It's easier just to stay away from them than risk killing myself by choking! :o
