    Oh I don't disbelieve you for a minute, but online it says 'Competition Terms and Conditions: Only one entry will be accepted per person' How are entrants supposed to abide by the T & Cs when they contradict themselves like that?

    That could be it, I would assume the magazine was correct and go by that, so one per household it is.

    I don't really understand what you mean, sorry. If you go to the Home Page the Terms and Conditons link is down the left hand side?

    Guys, i've got a question. You know often at the end of a competition form theres an option which says something along the lines of:

    "Do you want to sign up to our newsletter" or "Do you want us to send you information about future news and competition" and you normally have to tick the box.

    Out of interest, could they on purpose make the winner of the prize the person which does not tick the box and allows them to send their info the person?
    MSE allowed me to see the light
  • just wondered if anyone else enters the take a way comp where u send menus?
    ive a few times but site not updated since may and no replys to my emails
