It is a scientific fact that your body will not absorb calories if you take it from another person's plate.

    Can I just ask, this company was only formed on Twitter Dec 2019 and they are doing all these comps , The above one, and iPhone 11 among others. Does anyone think this is legit?

    Yes, Sky have commented on the thread to say that this competition was for existing customers too.
    I looked Variety up in December because of the prizes they were giving away and it all appears to be above board.

    4. You can enter the Competition up to a maximum of 20 times throughout its duration. We strongly advise against excessive use.

    They’ve changed their username from @ThisIsVarietyUK to @UKAirplayCharts

    Everyone who was following their old username should still be following their new username (and any replies where @ThisIsVarietyUK was used will still take you to the @UKAirplayCharts account if you click on them) as technically it’s still the same account, they’ve just changed the name.

    This tweet says they’re rebranding and entries will still be counted:

    The competition tweet is now: 
    https://twitter.com/ukairplaycharts/status/1222112921347592194?s=21

    They seem to be really inexperienced and keep making changes that they don’t realise make them look a bit dodgy!

    I don't understand how you can retweet a competition 20 times. To re-tweet a second time you have to cancel the first re-tweet.  Can anyone advise?

    You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time
  • Although their twitter account still works https://twitter.com/UKAirplayCharts they've now deleted ALL their competition tweets for the 7 different comps that should still be open. However, they also started 2 new ones yesterday and another on 10th Feb. No idea what's going on now! Looks like they're either dodgy or incompetent! :D
  • I sent the message just asking about the prizes and checking it was a genuine site and I think they took offensive as I have been blocked!
