    Huffy moo, she should be grateful of the free advertisement. I wonder if she will have a go at other comp forums too. Her loss...big mistake business-wise.

    Pram and dolly come to mind :rolleyes:

    Keep posting Alison :T , even if she replies and whinges about it, big deal.

    :)

    p.s i don't often moan, but some folk get my back up about the most trivial things.

    I don't understand what some people must have put for her to use the word 'rude'. Just basically being nasty do you think?? I didn't enter the comp but i'm quite glad I didn't now!! Alison, don't feel bad though. You were just posting a comp! :D

    NOW IN COMPING SEMI-RETIREMENT! :D

  • that is right it is just a competition - but this is about the competition is it, this has become a war of words about ill feelings as a result of some 'rude' entries, I know I don't want to have rude words said to me and don't say them to anyone else - even though I am only a student, I am always polite. I guess some are still being rude.

    I only came on this site to sort out some rail cards to get me from home to London, but I am not sure I want to keep on going here if this is the way that things are responded to. It seemed that there was a genuine problem and the comments here are so sad - everyone should take a reality check, look at all those people who are homelss with the bad rains and here we are grizzling at this. shame on us!!

    When my friend ran a comp from her site she had a few 'rude' entrants too. I guess the internet is that kind of place :(

    Actually the comp is still open, there are some new questions :D

    T&C:

    Please do not post answers on other sites, send me rude answers or e-mail addresses, these entries will not be allowed into the competition.

    Just remember that mse comping forum is just one of many other competitions forums, so who's to say it was people from mse who sent rude answers? I certainly didn't and find it strange that some folk did. Hmm.
    Thank you for your help from the site at ‘moneysaving expert’ - I appreciate your custom, I had some very rude entries, which I regarded as spam and felt a need to end the competition, I feel that this was not intended by the original poster and I understand that although the catch phrase of the site is ‘consumer revenge’, not all forum members intended this to happen either.
    I am changing the questions to make it slightly challenging for any new entries as suggested by my child:
