    so you enjoy making accusions out of nothing?
    be my guest

    I will do when I make an accusation. The '?' at the end of the two sentences would show you that they are indeed questions not accusations.

    Carry on.

    Can we really trust Colgate with all of our personal data - provided on the form - is this not just an advertising campaign that has already failed and Colgate are trying to recover from this by reaping as much personal data as possible to sell on to the highest bidder ???

    "The 7,000 successful registrants will be hearing from us via email on Wednesday 24th July 2013 with instructions on how to get their new Colgate® ProClinical® A1500."

    It'd be interesting to see how many MSE'rs get emails - I'm still waiting :(

    Please post up details of what we have to do - is there an identifiable code so they know it is from the person they have selected.

    BTW You don't have to tell everybody else, send me a PM so only I know :j

    I have got the email too! You just have to print off a form with your details on, guessing they will match by selected email addresses? and choose if you want to recycle your old brush or not, I'm not going to send mine off.
