nobody was complaining about the winner, only about the fact that she seemed to have won a completely different contest from the one that had been announced.
ditto jno and dot!! we are all delighted for ethel, no one was bitching at all, people were unhappy that the Ed had decided to change the rules without telling anyone
I'll add my name to Cazz's ditto. As far as I know noone was calling the Ed names. And I am not feeling ashamed of myself for thinking and stating that it's daft having a competition for one thing and then giving a prize for another.
Hopefully, there won't be any more competitions anyway. It just increased the amount of really stupid posts!
sorry cazz. not you personally, and anyone else whom thought they had a legitimate reason to question the rules of the competition.
But names were called loftylottie, and one person in particular who I believe called the ED a barsteward, who has since been removed, and according to a post of facebook, cannot get back on here now.
Some comments were rather embarrasing to read, and it must have been awful for Ethel to read all the posts.
Quite honestly Daniela I should think Ethel took it all in her stride - a very sensible and level headed lady who I can't see getting upset about anything anyone says on here.
Lottie, you are corrrect about Ethel taking it all in her stride. I spoke to her the afternoon she found out, and she was very cool about it and not upset about any posts on here.
To be honest, some of the posts were quite funny, and we had a chuckle about them!
Well I seem to have missed all the fuss and being a nosey person I want to find out what ive missed, from what I knew it was a 'post of a week' comp where you posted in the ab polls section and the winner won a box of wine, other than that no other points were raised by the ED like how he would pick a winner. From reading the posts here it would seem Ethel was the winner.
What went wrong, why did people get upset, what were the grounds for Ethel winning, and did she get her prize?
Oh Ethel, you have given me some hope. I might win the lottery next week then, even though I don't buy any tickets!!
I hope you buy something nice for yourself - you lucky lady.
