"8 hours, to make 500 calls, if you take no breaks whatsoever. Let's be specific. If the Bauer free entries are simply being removed, it is a massive problem for a number of reasons. How much do you get paid for 8 hours of work? For a full day's work?"
I hope my Arithmetic is correct.
If it takes 8 hours to make 500 calls then it takes about 4 hours to make 250 calls.
So for tomorrow's draw, 20th May where the prize is £400,000 then you earn £1600 per call and £100,000 per hour.
Not bad going but only if you win of course.

At the moment, for a full day's work I get paid a bacon roll at lunchtime if I'm lucky, and sometimes get my tea made for me.
Personally speaking, having retired I don't mind spend a few hours punching numbers in the hope of winning a massive amount of money. Otherwise I might have to talk to the wife or take the dog for a walk in the rain! While making the calls, I can also go through the rest of the MSE comp list (yes, males can sometime multitask!)
(BTW, I do have a certain trust in the fairness of Bauer free entries having won a decent amount from a radio comp in the past using that method)
