    You weren't a customer.

    Not arguing with you I've been to their restaurant and spent my money - you can get off your high horse :D
  • good for them they have clarified

    "Good afternoon folks. We've had a few people ask us to clarify number 13 of our terms & conditions. We define a 'professional comper' as someone who uses multiple accounts to enter a competition to increase their chances of winning. We included this to try and ensure a fair chance for all to win. As far as we are aware, none of the entries posted so far have been entered by a 'professional comper' so all will be entered into the prize draw."

    Professional compers... I've seen websites with compers posting their wins to sell/swap. I guess they could come into that when you see how many wins they have they want to get rid of. I know some use it as a means to get something else they like instead but I can't imagine why they'd want to do it over and over again.
    Cup of Tea? :coffee:

    Nice to see the trolls are about this lovely afternoon.

    Before making any judgements on people, make sure you check what part of the forum this is on. In fact, take a check on the actual WEBSITE it's on!

    Compers are customers - yes, you do get some that don't ever use the company, but mostly they do. Especially a big company such as F&Bs.
    Thanks to all posters :A

    Who pays for things ;) I'm not here to save money unless on things I NEED and wouldn't mind a discount and I don't go for freebies thanks

    I have,however,been on the receiving end of gifts from compers and 'bargain grabbers' and,like most others,really wish they wouldn't bother:o

    Woahh! I am an admin of a swap group on FB - yes people sell, but I can't go around ordering people not to sell, don't mention anything against sellers on here either (thread will be locked / deleted but not before everyone comes on to say how wrong both sides are!)

    Not everyone enters to sell, not everyone enters everything. That's their personal choice anyways so let's just leave it at that!

    Nice to see they've commented Mel, shame they should have just used the term "Cheat" instead of "Professional".
    Thanks to all posters :A
