Mmmmm - Just got a guy answering and he was very polite but wanted to know where I'd heard about this promotion. I said, thinking on my feet, I overheard two women talking about it in a checkout queue (as you do!!) and found out that way *pinocchio*. I didn't want to say mse for some reason as I'm always worried they don't want to hear that and I'd hate them to come on here and have a go, ridiculous I know as they probably love the publicity. But he mentioned a couple of times that it wasn't necessary to go via the customer advice line and just dial 118118 and request a number and you'll be entered into the draw. I said I'd bear it in mind - NOT!!!
I think they're being bombarded with enteries this way and not making any money from it. You might find them taking a similar line with you, but he was still very polite so I didn't mind. And this was the first time I wasn't asked for my addressAch well, they've only got four more days to go :rotfl:

Oh my goodness what have I started:o I heard the advert on the raido Key 103 if anyone else gets asked and I have just checked it's at the bottom of their website 118cash if you click on there it shows the T&C's are they hoping for a comp where they say no purchase necessary and no one takes them up on it
well if so they haven't met :money:

ooh, I did this yesterday and the woman who answered the phone sounded thoroughly fed up!!!
I had a phonecall this morning with a man saying you entered a prize draw, me hoping for it being the 118 comp and it was mucking flucking wetherseal, I told him it was a total con and that I would have never entered a prize draw with them in a million years, and that this particular con is warned about all over the internet! As usual I thought of even better smart !!!! comments after the phonecall was ended! oh well!
Hope they ring some MSE's with good news today!!!0 -
