    Has anyone got the details of the original competition? Surely a note to the local trading standards or gaming board wouldn't go amiss?

    I got this one too! does this mean we could get one of the £250 ones for free or is this offer for more expensive paintings?

    No way!! I must admit i got a pretty terse message when I queried the "prize", and he told me he updated it to 25 runners-up :rolleyes:

    Is anyone seriously going to buy a painting from this loser (for want of a better word;))???
