    Just a word of caution about these people. Last night the number of "Thanks" for the OP in this thread stood at 125, and they put a post up on Twitter:

    https://twitter.com/beechhillhotel/status/517888392127086592

    which said that only 25 people had signed up for the prize draw so far. Today there have been further posts along the same lines. My guess would be that if you have 125 thanks in this thread then probably at least 200 people would have entered at the point that they said that they had only received 25 entries.

    This gives us various possibilities:

    1. They are telling lies - sounds fairly unlikely to me.
    2. Their software is faulty or not set up properly.
    3. They are only saying how many people signed up for the least popular of the three prizes on offer.
    4. They are only actually putting people in the prize draw that opted in for their junkmail.

    Apologies for bump.
    Thanks to all who post constructively.

    I came on here to search to see if their competition had been put on here when they tweeted today that only 125 people had entered.

    I agree with Roger. Something is not quite right. I am sure there would be far more entries than thanks on MSE alone.

    Sorry for bumping, but I think it is worth flagging.
