    I sat and emptied one pen it took approx 2 and a half hours. Just scribbled over and over on paper as i watched Tv.

    My 2 year old daugther would empty one in 5 minutes all over my cream walls given half a chance.

    Would it be classed as child labour to let her do the scribbling, it is her passion and of course she would reap the rewards.

    yes i know but you cannot use all 10 pens from the pack, you have to keep buying another packs isnt it?

    Well yes, Every time you want to gain £10.

    However, you could buy ten, strap 5 together, repeat with others, send as each 30 day passes(buying pens). End result, 90 pens, £100, less cost

    ...In case you were wondering what a Bic biro emptied onto a single sheet of A4 paper looks like... :D

    LOL thats £4 p/h, less than minimum wage. Why not put an hours overtime in work instead! :rotfl:

    I wish! In my place I don't even earn £10 an hour and if we do an hour's overtime, it is classed as flexi, and I can just take that hour off another day, ie go home an hour early.

    DS lovvvvvvvvvves drawing.....;) have tons of scrap paper at the ready.

    Take nib off, blow ink out of tube, put nib back on.

    I'm still getting through to voicemail but their telephone number is 01895 827100. I ran out a pen until it wasn't working after 1 and a half hours and then took another 1 and a half hours of high friction scribbling (and another 8 sheets of paper) to finally get the rest of the ink.

    I doodle a lot, maybe i should switch over to bic pens for now. £100 for 10 pen sounds easy but i can't help but think there's a catch somewhere...

    It does say in the T&Cs though that it's only one entry per household, which looks to me like one pen plus promotional box,

    (Sorry I can't post links yet, but it's condition 5d), "Only one claim per household allowed. No third party claims will be accepted"

    So it looks to me like you can only claim one £10, although that's still not bad for a £3 spend plus postage..
