I ended up on some Australian websites and found that they display the terms and conditions of their competitions on pdfs in a schedule! An example is here:

http://www.austereo-static.com.au/dcds/termsandconditions/NATIONAL/CadburyTcs.pdf

Sadly, we are not eligible to enter, but I was just so impressed with the way it was laid out. What are the chances we could get the UK to adhere to this structured approach?

It doesn't seem to be all australian companies, the ones I've seen so far are Fox FM and Vax (they are giving away a Honda! wish it was UK)

It does look a lot better like that and a lot easier to read.

I duped a FB comp earlier so I think I'll stay off them for a bit :-)

I wish I hadn't bothered, when I tried to enter it I was told "Your age group is not allowed for this competition"!

I left them a message in return:

Why do I get "Your age group is not allowed for this competition" when I try to enter the iPad competition? I may be getting on a bit but I'm not so chuffin' old that I wouldn't understand what it's for!

There's an [STRIKE]ipad[/STRIKE] $10.000 apple voucher comp here http://www.crucial.com/uk/mac2012/ leading to the actual comp here https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/6Q5MYZH
I'm really struggling with things at the mo and can't post it.
If someone could oblige I would be grateful

Cheers,Daphne01

I'll sort it :-)

lol Sue - looks like a lot of people had the same problem! Think it must be a glitch on the form.
I entered fine though so perhaps try again x

They have replied to my post to say it's a technical error and their tech guys are on to it, so hopefully it should work soon
