i think you can only thank the lovely OP once in first post then can't do it again for all your entries as people come back to enter each hour so maybe that accounts for some of extra views if you see what i mean , sorry to be rubbish at explaining

Try and win this for me, or my dad, maybe be lucky and win for both of us

Bit annoying though, that it says it's a perfect Fathers Day gift, yet it's not drawn til June 11th, but winners will be notified up to 7 days later. You may not even find out you've won til after Fathers Day.

Good job I have that £60 Single Malt in the cupboard for pops to have for now.

Tho im not doing this one it always gets me that so far there's 1333 views but only 206 thank you's
What does it cost to click thanks ?

if peeps are viewing the comp over each hour it gets more views, plus peeps who aren't registered/members etc can view the comps without having to log in so the comps get viewed over & over again, each time the page is viewed it gets another 'view figure' so the viewing figures will always be higher,
doesn't just go for this one, it goes for all the comps posted, hth x

please be a responsible pet owner & spay/neuter your pets, too many strays & not enough homes for them sadly.

Just wondering how they can prevent the winner from selling or auctioning the prize!

The winner will probably have to sign something saying they won't. I won a year's supply of perfume (12 bottles) a couple of years ago and had to sign a letter saying I wouldn't sell it. Mind you, I don't know how much effort they would put into checking that you hadn't sold it.
