I thought I'd seen the question before but I didn't do a search as I didn't think it would be on here. Wonder if it's still 'live' then?

Merry Christmas everyone!
(I'm nearly as excited as my 7yr old DD. )

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: nice find!! Well done on reading the small print

I just laughingly showed my boyfriend & he (techy that he is) said it is a special date for computers - Unix EPOCH

So if they had a faulty date field when they set the competition/s the database would default to null/zero - which would then show as 1st January 1970. (Hard to believe but the internet wasn't around as we know it back in 1970, so unlikely they would be posting comps! :rotfl:)

From my point of view though, still hilarious! I would have been -1 year 5 months old, so not even a twinkle in my daddies eyes!
