    So let me get this right. To earn a card to get free Nando's you had to prove you'd eaten in every Nando's globally, Looking at their website it shows they have Nandos in over 20 countries, from Fiji to USA and Pakistan to Cyprus. Sorry but if you could afford to visit that many countries then I'd presume the cost of Nando's would be last of your problems.

    The article I read on this a few days ago (can't remember source, unfortunately), it said they'd withdrawn the competition due to their global expansion. I think it said something along the lines of when it started, there were "only" around 100-ish restaurants?

    So he's meeting lots of new people - planning some interesting travel and the Nandos store probably treat his as a bit of a celebrity........and Nandos get publicity out of it.

    I can't see the harm in it but then I like to travel to see places ....I've travelled to gigs in various fairly obscure parts of America as much for the places as for the gigs. .....

    It could make a great book

    I've never actually been to a Nandos :/

    In the pictures on that FB page, not one of them does he look happy, considering he's travelling the world, eating his favorite food every day he sure looks like a miserable &^&* :)
    He probably hates chicken now but has too many people following his challenge that he can't give up :)

    Maybe he hasn't finished the UK yet ... I saw him say something about Australia next and Nandos "said that they would honour the prize of the competition… but only if he can complete the global challenge."
