    The only way I could get this to work (using Chrome) was to start in the login box then tab down the page to get to the entry form boxes.
    Roboform didn't work as it puts things in the wrong boxes.
    thanks for the tip but still not working for me in any browser so I've emailed them via their contacts page

    Weeowens, there is a link on the sun main page to this comp (bottom right of the page at the moment), so it can't be for sun+ only. Hope that helps

  • Thanks Priorslee and Rebbie. I used Chrome, filled in the boxes, space bar for the tick boxes and it submitted fine! What a faff though. I hope that whoever does win it has to go through the same palaver :)

    If my memory serves right, Sun is one of those companies that stick to rules to the point that if you don't have 2 kids right age(or have only 1 child), they will just pick another winner.
    Thought it might be good to point out..
    Best wins ever:
    2012: Holiday to LA for 2 adults +2 kids for 4 days
    2013: £2 000 Virgin Holiday Voucher!
    2014: $1000 spending money for hols
    2015: 8 night holiday to Thailand

    So am I right in thinking if you have kids aged 13-17 they cant go?

    Here's hoping the complicated nature of the form filling in increases our odds. I'm assuming I can take my nephew to increase my family child quota to acceptable levels?

    I'm afraid you can't Sun is very strict and put it in their T&C

    "1 x winner will receive the following prize: return economy class flights to Orlando from London Gatwick or Manchester airport (including airport tax) for 2 adults (over 18) and 2 children (under 12) only (group must include parents/legal guardians and their children/wards only - no other age or group combinations permitted),"

    That means, you can't even take nephew as you are not legal guardian.
    I remember post from MSE member who won with Sun, got phone call, but as she and hubby had no kids, Sun said you don't comply with T&C, we are picking next winner. No discussion. :-(
