    Aw thats unlucky..
    But as serious compers will say - even when away its worth
    checking your emails, whether via mobile, internet cafe, internet tv, or even let a friend check them for you or relative...
    When i go away I shall ask my parents to check my mail as will my partner, because as you've found out it can mean you forfeit a prize..

    I think its harsh :mad:but there are many comps that go unclaimed, so all companies have to draw the line somewhere..

    But good luck im sure you'll win something soon x
    Still comping, after 2 heart attacks 4th feb & 6th feb, and a stent put in.. 45 years old only:eek:

    I agree its harsh and have missed a win myself because of this.. i went out that next month and got a Blackberry especially to receive my emails instantly whereever i am.. may seem extreme but being an avid comper i love to get my WEMs straight away!
    BACK and READY..... waiting on Royal Mail!!!
