Without seeing your letter its hard to know, but an 0800 number is freephone, which sounds ok to me

Yeah, I got that as well. Apparently it was a comp win. Thing is I never enter for holiday comps.
I might phone tho as it's free and see how much of their time I can waste.[FONT="]:beer:[/FONT]Any war that lasts for longer than five years should be declared a draw.[FONT="]:beer:[/FONT]0 -

Sorry it wasn't a win, but I'm sure there's a biggie just around the corner for you.
Thanks for the warning though

seasons holidays must be desperate for customers if they are sending out letters that you have to sign for and also giving us free phone numbers to ring, looked them up on the intenet and they have holiday comp running at the moment.
