  • Hi I had this text and have just had delivery. It was the Cadburys Hamper from the Unwrap Gold competition and very nice it is too!

    Just to add that the courier arrived within the timeslot which I was given on the text.

    Well by the sounds of it there wont be much chocolate to melt, not too impressed with cadburys and their competitions - this was meant to be a VIP experience which turned out to be tickets to a free event so we then got offered family pass to cadburys world (worth £45) or a hamper FULL of chocolate - turns out its 2 mugs, a tin bus and some cadburys heroes worth £20. They are messing up on the If GB wins You Win comp too as have sent me 2 emails saying my athletes didnt win when they did. Not good for a big company - just as well i have more important things to think of at the mo.
