  • Right, I just emailed them about my entry and I got this reply:

    Hi

    Thank you for your e-mail and I’m sorry for the problems that you and your fellow applicants experienced today.

    The data has definitely come through in the right order, although there are a huge amount of duplicates on it - I think that the people who applied after 2:15pm had probably already applied bang on 2pm and were simply re-entering their details.

    Your entry came through at number 6185 – so you can see how quick (and lucky to get on) people must have been.

    I’m sorry that you weren’t in the 2,000 and I really do hope that you enjoy the one month membership

    Kind Regards

    So no yearly one for me and I applied before 2:15, only the once though!
  • So who do I email to find this out?

          2. Just sent them an email.

            We shall wait on the next stage, but I have my N1 county courts form at the ready for breach of various laws.
            It will be easier for them (and cheaper) to just give me what I actually got.
