    Doesn't seem to like firefox. IE is ok though.

    EDIT: scratch that, it's let me register but when I try to confirm from the email it puts me in loop world. I haven't entered the answer anywhere yet.

    EDIT 2: Sorry, late night tired and boiling-hot idiot alert - it's working fine now on FF.

    1000 kgs is a ton? Right???

    Yes -
    1 tonne = 1000 kilograms

    My thoughts on this - perhaps I'm thinking too much:D

    If I were buying 1000 x 1kg bags I would be buying the 12 x1kg packs @ £8.65.

    You would need to buy 83 12packs £8.65 x 83 = £717.95.

    This would leave you needing 4 single 1kg packs @ £0.80= £3.20

    Total £721.15 rounded to the nearest pound £721.

    It worked for me when I clicked on the 'Enter' button, but not when I clicked on the text above it (on the bag). Thanks for the info, I'm feeling a bit hungry, looking forward to winning a biiiiiiiiig breakfast!

    You read it right :)

    How much does a one tonne bag of Mornflake Superfast Oats cost? (Based on the current price of a 1kg bag in our online shop)

    Sorry to bump, but don't put the '£' in your answer, as it invalidates it - just put '800'.


    This competition reminds me of a fella that I was at university with, who got his student grant and decided to buy a motorbike with it. He only had a few quid left over and then realised that he needed to buy food for the term, so he went out and bought 3 sacks of oats, intending to eat porridge for brekkie, lunch and dinner.....ended up in hospital with malnutrition :rotfl:

    Hi

    I found that if I clicked on the 'enter' twice, the pop-up appeared. (first time nothing happened!)
