    The main reason I felt peeved was that I didn't think to use that route, especially as Key 103 is literally just around the corner from me! :o

    I guess with hindsight it was obvious that they would choose someone who had entered via the station if they were going to announce it live on air - it would seem a bit odd if someone from the other end of the country won rather than a local listener - imagine the live call -

    "Who? Key what? never heard of you!" :rotfl:

    I know what you mean, it would sound odd but they didn't make it clear on the website that the winner would be a local listener. The T's +C's say that the on-line route is just as valid as the song-request route:

    2. No purchase necessary. To enter the promotion, entrants must complete an entry form via one of the 4 ways as detailed below and answer the following question correctly - What signature (including full initials) appears on the Baileys® Original Irish Cream bottle?

    3. Entrants must submit their completed entries as specified below (minimum requirement includes name, date of birth and answer to the set question). Entries may be submitted in via:

    1. Post: entries must be submitted via the official entry form contained within the Baileys Summer guide and sent to: Baileys Sound of Summer Promotion, PO Box 100, Blackburn, BB0 1GR.

    2. Text: by texting the word BLENDED to 87202 followed by your answer and date of birth, (dd/mm/year). All entrants will receive a text to acknowledge that their entry has been received. Text entries charged at your standard text rate.

    3. On-Line: participants should visit www.soundofsummer.co.uk and follow instructions on how to complete the on-line entry form.

    4. Key 103: participants will be automatically entered into the draw when they select their favourite summer tune via the official Key 103 registration page at www.key103.co.uk

    (I've emphasised some of the text.) If they've awarded the prize according to who's local (I'm guessing Chadderton is local to Key 103?), I think we've got good cause to be disgrunted. I'm not sure it would be a fair competition...Did they actually phone the winner? Because if, all along, they had to choose a winner who had submitted a phone number, it would exclude the online entrants because we were never required to give our number which, again, would make it unfair...(PS I'm not begrudging the winner her prize - it's not up to her how the comp's run.) Makes you wonder, doesn't it? :undecided

    Yes, they did phone her and yes, Chadderton is local. She sounded as though she'd entered a few times because when they asked what song she'd like to hear played she gave the impression she'd requested a few. She was thrilled with the prize & will be having it sprayed bright yellow!

    I know what you mean about it all sounding a bit suss. Some of this could just be down to how the DJ presented it - from experience I know that they don't necessarily get given (or don't take in) the full details of what they need to talk about and have a habit of filling in the blanks with their own imagination!
