    Daughter got this email this morning =

    Thanks for your email, it was passed on to me as my team were responsible the online balloon race.

    I am sorry to hear that you didn't get your prizes, you actually won 3 in total. We sent them out 4 weeks ago, so they must have gone astray in the post, I'm arranging for them to be sent out to you again.

    In your email you mention that other people have also not received prizes and, please could you pass on my email address so the can get in contact so we can help them out too.

    Once again, I'm sorry for you not receiving your much deserved prizes and for our delay in replying to you.

    I hope you have an enjoyable bank holiday weekend and please let me know if you have any questions.

    Kind regards

    Dan

    Maybe. Though getting two windup chargers that don't work doesn't seem much of a prize.

    I work in the team that was responsible for the balloon race and i am sorry to hear that you have not, as yet, received your prizes.

    These were all sent out several weeks ago and I have arranged for yours to be resent to you today. We are looking into why you have failed to receive them thus far.

    Please accept my apologies for this and your prizes should be with you in a couple of days time

    Many thanks

    my wind up charger arrived yesterday, thought "ooh good I could do with one of those, I can sit and wind it up while watching tv or something" but NO!! it's like a mini workout to get it to do anything properly, and my puny little muscles in my arms can't manage it!!!! no chance of watching the tv while doing it either as it's so loud it sounds like someone is sawing a piece of wood or something!! Then I thought oh well the light function will be handy as a torch!! yeah right!!! if you have someone strong enough to stand and keep it going & if you stop winding it stops being lit up so you need a spare of hands!! :rotfl: I was wetting myself trying that out yesterday, which then made me even weaker - had to give up and plug it in the wall instead!!

    I'm not bitter, I thought the balloon race was loads of fun, just hope they do it again and sort out some slightly more useful prizes, perhaps paid for by not having such an expensive 1st prize!!

    Best of luck to those of you who receive it today!!! :rotfl:

    After i sent a e-mail to Tom Alexander yesterday, a parcel arrived this morning (special delivery). I got really excited and tore it open hoping it was a phone.......... it was 2 bl**dy phone charges(got 3 now). it prob cost more to send them than they are worth. Oh well thanks orange and hope to hear from you next year. Carn't wait for the next race bring it on.
    If it has tyres or testicles, it's gonna give ya problems..

  • well i got my charger, better than a sim card i suppose! The race was fun, still think the top 20 or even top 10 racers should all have got something. Lot's of people in top 10 didn't get a daily win which is a shame.
