    Im also in NI, haven't won anything apart from the peroni bottle opener which hasn't arrived (although after I read the t&c NI seemed to be excluded) and I'm not sure if it will now! same here re tickets and holidays, 7 of us in the family too, tbh I'd love to win anything to start the ball rolling - dvd, bottle of shampoo, anything!

    Is that not in England??

    btw - IOM should be on its own too as it's not part of NI - and CI & IOW have been forgotten, but sure it's just a fun poll :p

    I can understand, due to the T&Cs of some comps we in NI may not be able to enter, but I'm also surprised by the lack of winners from Scotland and Wales.

    Hi! this is really interesting to read, I'm from NI too and I have won a few things, but always small things, nothing that would be classed as a 'big' win. I often wondered if NI is excluded from a lot of the bigger competitions. Sadly though, it probably wont stop me from comping!! :rotfl:I'm always grateful for the win no matter what the size!!

    For this to be of any real use, you'd need to correct it for the total number of members from each region...if NI members are a minority then of course it will look like they win less.

    Are those sort of figures available?
