They awarded the prize to their accountant or past accountant
They seem to be removing all comments and blocking people now so may not see the evidence people were posting that it was their accountant

And the Medion comp (make a bauble & get your friends to vote on it,) apparently changed to a non-voting one that was "Randomly selected by a panel of experts," (Self-contradictory or what?!)
This is despite them confirming in an email it WAS voting, then claiming to be "Mistaken" when the comp ended.
All posts have been removed from their wall, including the ones that said shame we didn't know it wasn't voting as they'd said- we'd have enteredWorse things will have happened in the world today..."The only thing that really matters, it to love and to be loved."0 -

What amuses me is that, for the sake of 200-500 quid, they end up shutting their facebook pages.. plumbworld had 20,000 likes, stupid people. Add Steffans to that list too“D’you know what a loser is?
