Where do Scottish Power generate electricity from?
Answer = Power Stations

Entering this comp almost certainly means a phone call quotation from Scottish Power.

    Tip - if you say you use a pre pay meter you are less likely to get a call;)

    I'm not sure they could possibly phone me any more than they do! Generally there is no one on the line either - so I can't even tell them to stop calling! They are absolutely the worst offenders for phone pestering that I have ever come across



    thanks one-eye :T

  • If you get a phone call, just tell them you are not the person responsible for paying the bills, i do this every time(only ever had phone call twice in two years, both times following an entry into such a competition as this one).

    I now only get called following an entry into a competition like this, and its only the once, and i give the same excuse every time.

    I had a call on Friday after entering this comp and a very rudy woman from scottish power said that as I did not want to have a comparison quote then I could go no further in the comp. She was very aggressive and now regret entering this one!

    As I mentioned in my post in the comps discussion thread, this actually disqualifies you from the competition. I might just enter this so I can give them a piece of my mind when they call again.

    I was called Friday too, he said I had entered a comp and agreed to have a quote. I said I didn't want a quote, so he said "then I suggest you don't enter any more of our competitions" :rotfl:
    That ain't working! That's the way to do it, money for nothing and TV's for free ;)
