    Does anyone know if these morons actually get picked more than honest compers?

    If so, I'm gonna get googling for "make 'em cry" stories :rotfl:

    Til then HAPPY comping!

    Prize is a £100 amazon voucher & you need to just like the post and comment with what you'd spend it on.

    Somebody posted "WOW <unicorn & heart emojis> FABULOUS !!' Giveaway Only if im lucky enough to win such a fantastic giveaway ,, i would be estatic !!!!!! <unicorn> would love to be your #WINNER Liked & shared <tagged names>"

    then posted it again with their item added after they realised the rules.:rotfl:

    + someones posted a pic of themselves on a sunny beach wearing a santa hat & Christmas jumper. (eta: they've posted the same pic on twitter for another comp so you might be seeing it a lot).

    People are metaphorically dripping with desperation for a supermarket voucher on this one...

    Why do mice have such small balls?
    Because so few of them can dance.

    Some not really sob story ones

    "I'd love to have the courage to tell my lovely aunt that i really don't like her Christmas cake I know she spends so much time & love on making it, thats why i can't tell her I've been pretending to love it for 12 years now."

    "i wish i could lose alot of weight because i eat to many cakes and fresh bread from Morrisons.Good luck everyone"

    "Would love to tell my daughter that I re -iced the side of a birthday cake she had made for her boyfriend after the dog had licked off one side of the icing."

    How is it helping people with anxiety disorders or other mental health issues (or all the illnesses) to have how bleak their life gets out there for everyone including total strangers to see just to win a competition?

    Posting something like that about my life/problems just seems/feels humiliating & depressing.

    eta: Spot the people making their answers all about Morrisons, or just commenting that they like their Christmas advert like they think saying nice things or that they shop there'll bribe them into giving them the prize.

    Just remembered - a fictional sob story from an episode of Bottom:
    Winning tiebreaker was "I like Stork Margarine because...I've only got one leg.":rotfl:

    I think the shop ought to say 'prove it' and ask them to produce every single receipt for the last year.
    Just for a laugh - Call their bluff. :rotfl:
    Although, I think some of them would do that if they thought it would help them win :rotfl::eek:
