    Ha ha I know exactly what you mean. It reminds me of the the posts which could be rephrased with "how long is a piece of string".

    1. Why am I not winning?
    2. I live on my own can I enter for family holidays?
    3. I am not married, can I enter to win a honeymoon?
    4. How will I be notified of a win?
    5. I work so cannot answer my phone, will they call back?
    6. If I win can I sell the prize?
    7. Can I enter for my husband, brother, sister, dog cat etc?
    8. I have a missed delivery card, anyone else got one?
    9. Had a missed call from a withheld number, anyone know who it is?
    10. Should I change my email address as I am not winning?

    However I think in the past I have been guilty of not reading an original post fully ie not opening to a certain time and trying to enter :whistle:
    The best things in life are free.....

    And there are those who write their answer in response to the MSE post, rather than website.

    To be fair though, some of these questions might sound daft but that's only because you've heard them 100 times.

    There are no stupid questions only stupid answers.
