    Are people copy and pasting Tweets as a reply trying to get extra entries?

    Seen a woman post a pic of her baby complete with nasal cannula to win a £5 Love2Shop voucher. It was just a RT competition.

    I have literally JUST entered that comp and asked for a Christmas Hamper..........then.......I read one or two :(

    I honestly don't know if I feel really sorry for folks who are SO desperate to win a prize they will tell you their most distressing life stories (true or not)

    Or if they totally disgust me because they have NO shame

    Am I the only one who actually feels bad for entering some of these comps?

    I know what you mean - I entered one tonight about a special prize you wanted for Christmas - there were references to still born babies and dead relatives on there!

    Was that not the one above?

    I read the same kind of things..

    I must be getting old, but I would never lower myself to the level of some of these folks for ANY competition :(

    sweet but it's not Miss World (having flashbacks to that coke ad with I'd like to teach the world to sing...)
