    Put number as 0000000 as they are prone to sales calls.
    No you're not a vegetarian if you eat any animal or fish, so do not insult genuine veggies by calling yourself one! :mad:

    Thanks to everyone who posts competitions. You are the stars of the board :T:j:T

    1 Are there any sites, from experience, which are likely to generate lots of spam?
    There are a few which have come to our collective attention as sites that, when used for comps, seem to generate lots of unwanted postal, email & phone call attention. These are listed below for your information, however, please do remember that this is only the collective opinion of other MSE Compers & does not necessarily reflect upon the sites themselves.

    Just had about 10 silent calls from weatherseal before they finally spoke...
    edited...now about 30 silent calls then some sales guy talking over me very aggressively.
    Not exactly the way to win customers over.

    I too got lots of calls from them.
    Don't know if anyone actually wins anything I'm sure they do it to collect phone numbers.
