    this is what I had today, after emailing 3 times:


    Thank-you for your email regarding Carling and your Big Lunch event. We’d like to apologise for not having yet adequately responded to your enquiry dated May 25th. Having checked our records, unfortunately your application was made after all 300,000 bottles had been claimed.

    Our Big Lunch offer has received an unprecedented number of requests and we are working to ensure that many thousands of deliveries are made in time for this weekend’s celebrations, as well as responding to every single application. We have this week distributed emails to every applicant and there have been cases where our messages have found their way into the spam section of inboxes.

    You are correct in stating that The Big Lunch link has been removed from our website as the offer for the Diamond Jubilee weekend is now closed with all 300,000 free bottles having been claimed.

    As the official beer partner of The Big Lunch we can assure you our offer will result in many thousands of people receiving Carling for their Diamond Jubilee event. We’re sorry that some Big Lunch events will unfortunately miss out on this offer. Apologies for any disappointment this may have caused you and please accept our sincere apologies for the delay in responding to your

    I've still not had a reply from "The Big Lunch" answering my questions regarding their data protection issues.

    I have had 3 different emails now from Carling, each one giving a different reason as to why I will not be getting the offer.. One saying postcodes didnt match (but they cant tell me what postcodes they were) One saying I was too late (but Ross registered after me and still got them) and one just saying "due to overwhelming response" type thing..

    I know its a freebie but the way Carling (and the Big Lunch) have organised it is terrible.

    Carling probably couldnt organise a p1ss up in their own brewery..

    45 Bottles delivered here today!!! Cool 'bottles'
  • Received an email saying my beer was on its way. Nothing has turned up yet.

    lifeagency who are running the promotion claim that they do not have any record of me in their database - yet they email me to say the beer is on the way! How does that work?

    Absolute shambles.

    That is me done with Carling for good.
