Tea with Nigel Slater - but at a cost of £50?

Hello all

I've just won a competition for the following...

Afternoon Tea with Nigel Slater at The Wolsely, London, on 30th May.

... BUT I've been told the cost is £50.00, which includes the full Wolseley champagne afternoon tea, hosted by Nigel Slater, plus a copy of Nigel's latest book.


Hmm.. I've never known a competition win to CHARGE for the opportunity before. Strange.

Did anyone else get this?

    No, but I would certainly begrudge paying.

    Doesn't sound much of a win to me. Are you paying for him too!!!

    Ah... perhaps I should read things properly before entering..

    Well at least I can give it up to another person that lives closer to London & would be happy to pay.

    I'm grateful to have been selected anyway! A win is a win! :)
