    Right, gonna have a moan now. Just received an email announcing the winners of a comp that I entered. When the comp closed they emailed to say that they had received 125 entries. Basically you had to write about your pet in 50 words or less. The 2 winners are now on the site and the second place winner used 65 words! What's that all about?

    "For example at the end" makes me think it ends in ie (for example), something like cookie or similar?

    If it is sweets could the answer be Victory V? There is a decisive victory rule in sports, and it would be at the end...:confused:

    Isn't there an ad with 'decisions, decisions' in it. Was it Galaxy? That could be where the decisive bit comes in.
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!

    Hi, i'm not sure if i should ask here but my elderly neighbour is doing a quiz at her local womens club and she is stuck on a question. The answer can be the name of a sweet, chocolate bar or a chocolate biscuit. the clue is When it comes to this its decisive - for example at the end. I cant think of anything so would be very grateful for any help. Thanks

    Probably too late now but I suspect the answer they want is Crunchie?
    When it come to this it's decisive, (when it comes to the crunch), plus for example, (i.e.) at the end.
    I know i.e. really stands for "that is" but it is frequently mistakenly used as "for example" which is really e.g. but "that is" and "for example" are similar in meaning.

    I thought it was Rolo.... when you come to the end (the last rolo) and can't decide to give it away or eat yourself... :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Hi guys I am always on the look out for freebies just like everyone else. I come across this website realfreesamples.co.uk. You just basically click on a few things to enter a variety of competions.

    Has anyone heard of them and did you actually win anything?:confused: Don't want to waste my time if it's all a scam.

    Thanks :D
    Mess :p
