Competition entries from BFPO

Options
Anyone tried to enter some of the competitions listed here from a BFPO address?

A lot of the competition terms and conditions say you need to be resident in the UK but it's a bit of a grey area for us - although we don't actually live in the UK we still pay UK tax (even council tax!) and get stuff like child benefit so are we counted as a UK resident or not?? :confused:

(Not that I ever win anything anyway so it's probably irrelevant!!) :rolleyes:

    I dunno about not being able to play the lottery tho, we still played online when we lived in germany and had no problems. I found some comps would kick you off but others let you enter without problem ... I would keep entering regardless ... and good luck!!!!
