I see that this competition is back now as a link in the PH news email rather than a news topic.

Again asking all the same personal questions...

I also see that the previous topic discussing it on gassing 'has been removed'.

Come on PH!!!! This isn't good enough!

and I'll say something else, I'm getting pissed off with the canvassers ringing me up claiming I have said I am interested in xxx when I know absolutely 125% that I did NOT say that.

The next one that rings up will get something more feisty than tonight's little effort who got told in no uncertain tersm that rather than consider buying her product I'd rather have Deep Heat lavishly applied to my policeman's helmet.

No more PH competitions for me, you can swivel.*

well the T&C at the bottom of the first page did state that you agree them contacting you by any means possible - phone, email, mail... with no opt out hehe

agreed but I object when they ring up and blatantly lie, as in you expressed an interest in...

no I didn't I said I was definitely NOT interested in.

I've been reluctant to enter this due to what happened with the Lotus Elise PH was supposedly giving away.

Loads of people paid a quid on a text line and they were going to do it up and give it away, but nobody has heard anything since the beginning/middle of last year.

rofl briliant, i didn't think people could do that any more, merely they could make it akin to the crystal maze to opt out.

cant see the competition, did see some link for poker, but might have to decline both.

got an old email for the online competitions, it is limited to 25 emails per day as a forwarder and the spammers seem to use up 20 emails, log into the account just in case there is the odd message for me smile

It transpires that the competition required a certain amount of entrants before the car could be given away.
Perhaps the parties involved should be completely open here and state exactly how many entries are required in these 'Win a Car' competitions? There's no point entering if the number of entrants from the PH community is only going to be a few thousand at best and the organisers require 200,000 entrants before they give away the car rolleyes

The date on the sticky says Wednesday 23 January, so perhaps that could be changed to reflect the new info.
People clicking on it will see the old date, and probably not realise that an update has been issued since there's still only the one post on it.
