    that's so bad :(
    How about calling them again?
    I think I'd better wait until I hear from the ASA, but if anyone wants to call The Sun about this feel free.

    I am completely on your side on this but sadly i think that because you accepted tickets for your friends on the boat that The Sun will see it as prize fulfilled

    Yes two of my friends did go but what I'm cross about is that The Sun said they would also give me something and then at the last moment said they couldn't give anything.

    I won, I won, I won!
    I left a message saying they should get a letter from a lawyer. I would get in touch with watchdog. That way the sun have to get back to them and normally will give decent compensation.
    I used to work for a charity that worked really hard for people with disabilities so this makes me feel sick.
    Thanks to everyone who posts

    I also work with young wheelchair users, who are doing their a levels. This is the sort of thing that I encourage my students to fight against. The sun are scumbags, I always avoid their comps mainly because Im a liverpool fan but also because they are scum scum scum!
    back to comping after a 2 year break!! Mission… to win a gift for all my family for Christmas!

    Thankyou for your suggestion. I have left a message for Watchdog.

    I'm just hoping that some kind person could post on The Sun's Facebook page that over 4000 people have looked this on Money Saving Expert, as The Sun have stopped me from posting.
    I don't know if this will do any good but it might worry them a bit.
