It closed, is what happen to it! Wink

Actually you beat me to it as I was thinking of posting another of my, "Give me my shiny new toy" posts. No doubt DennisN will be here soon to tell me it's not mine to shine. Very Happy

Nah - I didn't want one of them things. I mean, who wants a TomTom ONE for goodness sake? I've got two which are 719 times better and I've even got one which is 919 times better!

Now, if they'd had a 930 I'd have been interested.

Mind you, mostdom drives some weird sort of satnav, so I suppose a ONE is bound to be an improvement for him. Good luck Mr Cheerful, you might get it in time to make sure you don't get lost on the way to the PGPSW Meet and Greet, Get together, & Dinner, Weekend.

Too late, Darren flogged them on eBay to help finance the new car stickers.

Hence, instead of making 2 people happy with competition prizes, he makes everybody happy with car stickers Thumbs Up

Or, is it a case of the PGPSW clock not having caught up with the '21 days' yet? Laughing

Good question, I don't handle the comps personally but I'll find out. There may be a slight delay as Rob is in the US on PGPS business.

You know me! Anything free and not nailed down. Wink

Nice plug with the meet and greet link!

The CD containing the winners' details has been lost by HMRC Rolling Eyes

Patience is a virtue

It may, however, be worth the team re-phrasing the competition details to say something like
"Winners will be announced when details of the next competition are posted"
instead of tying themselves to '21 days' and have members chasing prizes they may not have won

edit- correct typo

I NEVER chase prizes I may not have won. I only ever chase prizes I HAVE won, but which have been handed over to girlies, supermen and Lifeboat chasers quite in conflict with my interests.

They don't give prizes to white van men, Black Dyke fanciers or people who ought to get out more Wink

You're still sulking 'cos Anita got 'your' prize

...didn't your parents ever say "stop crying, or we'll give you something to cry about"? Laughing

But you would say that, seeing as you HAVE already won a prize! When I win my prize I too can say 'I'm really not interested in winning'! Wink

Sorry, we're taking a bit longer than usual in sorting the next competition.

MikeB, who is arranging the next prize, had to go on an unexpected business trip, but will be back on Tuesday. Won't be long now, honest Smile

No, it was "Stop crying, or I'll make you cry on the other side of your face!" Laughing

Well, all I can say is I hope he comes back with loads of GO930s for me to win. Twisted Evil

INSTANT EDIT - I hope he comes back with loads of working GO930s for me to win.

Alas, in all the numerous many countless competitions I've entered, I have never ever won a prize, EXCEPT the one that they gave to Anita out of spite, just because it was a working TomTom GO720.
