    I got some too. I tried so hard to win some as really wanted to go to this. I was gutted i didnt and just got used to the thought of not winning any and grumping that i couldnt attend. Then these cames threw the door...a right kick in the teeth!!

    (quitely upset about it as would have LOVED to have gone and OH had all last week off work aswell so woulda been great)

    I definitely think as there is a number of you in same boat it is worth all sending an email /ringing up to complain about it. Point them in the direction of this thread that highlights it wasn't an isolated case

    I did write to them and just got an email saying

    "I'd like to offer youcompensation for the inconvenience"

    so hope everyone else made the effort to let them know that arrived too late to use.

    What a bummer! Hopefully everyone will notify them and you get some good compensation for it!

  • Hi Shegha, can you let me know what email address you used, as I haven't had a reply from the one I sent my complaint to. Thanks
