    Can't believe anyone would be so stupid, talk about a sure fire way of getting yourself a bad reputation. Why not just admit that the 'runners up prize' was a discount available to anyone who entered. They may have actually got some business that way.
    Most recent wins: IPad, Jamie Magazine yearbook, Links of London friendship bracelet, Baumatic ice cream machine! :j

    Has he upped his prices like a really bad supermarket so he can pretend the saving is even bigger now?

    I also won a runner up prize a few weeks ago, except it was £100 off to make a painting £165, I got his follow up email saying £1345 off and he still thinks we should pay £165.

    lets all craft emails asking for references, which professional bodies he belongs to etc and then let them know what a plonker he's been.
