    Pretty much all of the comps are U.K. only on here. You may get the occasional international comp but they are few and far between. You would be better off trying to find a French comping forum I would think x
    You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

    thanks ikkle87, I've worked through the last 100 or so pages yesterday and mostly the holidays are international but the smaller postable prizes aren't

    it just takes a bit more time to zoom in on the 'uk only' clause which is why i'm asking

    If a company/site is UK based the competitions are likely to be for UK residents only whether it is explicitly mentioned in the T&Cs or not.

    I checked a few holidays and they were UK only or the departure/return airport was a UK one.

    thanks moneybot, maybe it's the techie world getting smaller but i do find that quite a lot of the bigger (non postable) prizes seem to be open to me, which is great,. thanks for the link, pip

    plan at the minute is to avoid any physical prizes and go for money/holidays

    departure uk airports is good for us as we are often in the uk
  • If you have any relatives or good friends still in UK , you could maybe use there address for smaller prizes.
