A while ago I saw my name as a winner of a New mag competition issue 238, as did 9 others. But then it came to light that they had printed it (and the others) in error on their website, as 2 draws had occurred by mistake.
Well, after they consulted the Advertising Standards Authority and agreed to select the final winners they have written to apoligise and also sent a £50 cheque 'as a gesture of goodwill'!
They can make mistakes anytime! :rotfl:
Anyone else got one?
