I have never heard it, sorry. Maybe just general knowledge I would assume. On their website: http://www.smoothradionortheast.co.uk/news-sport/smooth-take-a-break-vqar/smooth-quizzes-icmm/icmmc7hf/ they have a section with Mark's quiz - not sure if that is the quiz you are on but might help.

Good Luck!

Has anyone else had a letter from a firm called CallCredit Check? They say that the email address that they have registered on my account is incorrect. They want me to either write to them with the correct email address, or if I don't recall opening an account to write and tell them and they will pass the details on to their fraud team. I've never heard of them! After all of the fuss about websites (The Sun in particular) being hacked I'm not sure what to do as it could just be a way of getting confirmation that the name and address are legit if I contact them, but if it's someone using my details and I do nothing, it could be worse.

Just a quick update, I had a similar letter from Experian today, so it looks like someone is definitely trying to pretend they're me. I rang Experian and whoever it is has everything about me, apart from my phone number and email address, they even have my debit card number, so I've had to stop that and ask for a new one. Very inconvenient but thank God someone was on the ball and spotted it.

Hi folks

I hope this is the right place to post this!

I've been away the last 3 days and have missed the bingo numbers printed in the Sun (Mon-Wed). If anyone knows what they were please could you help me out!

Many Thanks

new to this site is there a place you can look for just postcard comps?

Hi everyone I didn't want to clog the boards with a whole thread, so I hope this is the right place!

I'm just wondering if anyone on here has ever won a WhatsonTV/Pickmeup/Now instant win competition?

Seems to me like:

- the odds are very long of matching 3 large numbers (the maths evades me right now, but it isn't favourable!),
- there's no guarantee the algorithm for the 3 number generators isn't fixed to prevent wins,
- there's no details I can find on their sites of anyone winning them (the winners details only seem to go back to July, and as far as I could tell covered only the normal sweepstakes),
- the prizes seem to remain on there for a long time, and are often the same/similar across all three sites (which makes me wonder if they are in fact the same prize shared between the sites),

Having spent months playing them I discovered to my irritation that buried in the T&Cs is a clause about being on the electoral roll to claim a prize, which also strikes me as a cheeky way of getting out of awarding prizes. I'm not currently on the electoral roll since moving house, and would have been gutted if I'd actually won something only to be told I couldn't claim!

Basically, I'm trying to ascertain of it's worth my while continuing with these. Finding a winner of the instant wins may convince me that it's worth it!

Someone did post that they'd won some Ugg boots a few months ago, but I tend to stick with the draw type. Been a fair few winners from those if you search IWIWIW

Thank you I had a search but didn't see any instant win ones, I must be going myopic in my old age.

I would assume all would be above board with them, but I just wanted to check I wasn't wasting my time trying to win a shiny macbook every day!
