The promotion will run much the same as it did last time, the thread for the previous time it ran is here

There are effectively two competitions (to win a 2 night stay at various Best Western Hotels with Breakfast and dinner) running at the same time one on Facebook and the other on Twitter and you can enter both.

The questions will be posted every hour and half hour and you have 15 minutes to answer once they have been posted!

    Every 30 minutes a question will be posted on both Facebook and Twitter. You will have 15 minutes to correctly answer the question and then a winner will be selected at random. Easy as that!

    You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time

    Sorry for the bump but having looked at the thread the last time this was run a lot of people were unsure about using Twitter and Facebook. Just for those who haven't used these website before here's how to enter (Doesn't start till 8am Thursday though!)

    Twitter

    1. Register at www.twitter.com
    2. When you're logged in go to BestWestern's Twitter page: www.twitter.com/BestWesternGB
    3. Click the follow button (circled in red in the picture in the link below)
    Picture
    4. Then go to the twitter home page by clicking "Home"
    5. Questions will appear on this page, or simply check this thread as I'm sure many nice peeps will be posting questions and answers, to submit an answer simply type @BestWesternGB followed by the answer into the "Whats Happening Box" (Shown by red arrow in pic in the link below)
    Picture

    For example if the answer was "Rumpelstiltskin" you'd type:

    @BestWesternGB Rumplestiltskin

    Then click the "Tweet" button, and you're done!
