    I thought this was to be announced ages ago. Now there is a post from Martin, to say that it will be announced within the next few days.

    I am indebted to the help I get on this board and Martin is indeed a consumer's champion. But if he cannot sort out £500 for the considerable efforts of a single debt ridden supporter; then his integrity and that of of this site, his enterprise, wanes, in my humble opinion.

    Maybe he spends to much time chasing people with links in their signatures when they're not meant to be there? ;)

    Perhaps SS you are right, he may feel that is a better use of his time but there are a heck of a lot of poor people who have been nominated or applied for that £500 prize.

    He certainly is showing the best way to be a MSE by failing to award it; hopefully it will accrue "interest"...
  • Well hopefully the winner will be announced soon, Martin has just said in his blog that he has just met the winner for photos for a national newspaper!
