Apparently she was round the local shops on Tuesday and a gang of codies, balaclavas, scissors and tupperware boxes, were accosting OAPs and emptying their Hobnobs. A rival gang operating nearby were supposedly heard shouting 'Come on, Yer Chocolate Caramels or your life'.
Decent folk can't walk the streets after dark. Muggers and car theives have had to move into safer neighbourhoods. Seriously, if Gordon Brown doesn't get a handle on swapping ASAP I can see the country descending into anarchy.
So yes, we're right to take it seriously on this board. I think there should be a minimum sentence of seven years incarceration for anyone caught buying a packet of biscuits and sharing the info' with mates. It's undermining everything that this made this nation great, slavery, invasion of other countries, children up chimneys ........... we need to get back to those values and stop trying to help each other.
Well said Katie, I feel infested with cheats. Now where did I leave those 35 packets of Rich Tea.

Wowsers - glad I wasn't on here yesterday evening - bit of a case of Rich teas at dawn me thinks. Let me re-iterate what I've said all along about this thread - people cannot be accused by McVities of cheating as a result of this thread unless they have absolute proof that:
a) the person has broken the rules or T&C's
b) there is a direct relationship seen on the threads between the poster and some element of their personal information already used on the competition (which is Full name, address, e-mail address or mobile phone number)
McVities whether watching this thread or not have absolutely no right nor jurisdiction to demand peoples personal information from MSE to try and implicate or associate them with any wrongdoings which they may have interpreted have gone on (I have already expressed I don't believe we are contravening the T&C's by simply giving another person the option to legally own our codes with the consideration amount being 50% of the winnings gained and stick by that but it is my own opinion).
So post as much as you like - as long as you don't show a very explicit relationship between the information held on the thread and the information you key into Bonkersaboutbiscuits.com there is absolutely nothing that can be done and as per the British justice system, innocent until PROVEN guilty prevails.
And lets draw a line under it and get back to having some fun. I've really enjoyed this comp and the banter on this thread over the past few weeks even though I've only won £50 for me and my O.H. (despite hours of MSE dedication) and malicious, insidious and unfounded comments such as Katiewils (who I am sure is bleating to Mr McVities as we speak about how 'wrong' this thread is) should be ignored as we are all aware of the rules and how to work within them.0 -
Jodester no more luck today, Loopyloo no luck either, anyone else, I did not have time to do any more will let you all know when need any more codes as baby needs attention lol, good luck all, well done wookey.0
