Haha, quality!!!! I think they'd have needed a MASSIVE door today, and there would be some squabbling from people going through the doorway.

Now that everyone has "calmed down dear" and can see that they get at least 3 months, the 'nay-sayers' seem to have settled a bit!!!

If they think the offer is rubbish they should send their cards back to Taste London!!!

So instead of charging £70 for their card, you think it would be best for everybody if it was free permanently?

Of course. I mean I'm clearly entitled to free meals and VIP treatment wherever I go, as I spent a whole 20 minutes sitting on my bum pressing refresh trying to get something for nothing.

Dear MSE Users

Firstly an apology. Our servers went down, despite testing and having assurances from our hosting company that they would not, at 12:00 midday today. For this we are extremely sorry and are aware that many of you have been sitting in front of your computers for some 45 minutes now, attempting to enter your details. Whilst we are not trying to justify the problems, over 100,000 people attempted to hit the site simultaneously.

The servers are now back up and running, however we appreciate the frustration that this will have caused for you.

Whilst we cannot change what has already happened, what we are going to do it the following:

1) Provide the first 2,000 entrants with free memberships to tastelondon for 12 months
2) Run a 'lottery' for a further 2,000 free 12 month memberships
3) Provide every other entrant with complimentary 3 month memberships to tastelondon, which will expire on 1st March 2010.

So please do continue to enter your details, everyone will win something.

We are sorry again for the inconvenience and hope this goes some way to rectifying them

The taste team.

Many thanks, this is greatly appreciated by most.

A deceptively subtle attempt at sarcasm, obviously sounded better in your head and didn't translate in the medium of text.

I'd say it was irony personally.

Either way, it doesn't stand out very well on a web page.
