    Makes you feel like turning in your Blue Peter badge - only I haven't got one! Why ask the kids to vote and then ignore the result? Good headlines for a foreign regime "Votes rigged in UK".

    We've never heard of anyone winning one of those laptops.. and how many have we entered... it does seem strange.

    They took months to send DDs stamps out and only then after hassle from the ASA. Terrible, and we have to pay for this too!

    I hate to say it (and sorry for going OT) but it doesn't surprise me. I had the misfortune once to have Blue Peter come to where I work and they were the most unprofessional bunch I've ever met!

    I know, it's not like the kids wanted to call the cat 'Bogey' or something. :rotfl:
    Wonder how they are gonna explain this to the kiddies on their show. If I was a mother I wouldn't let my child waste money on Blue Peter any more.
