I don't see why some people think this is 'targetting' the IoM Looking at teir T&Cs: The competition is only open to all residents in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Isle Of Man Or Channel Islands aged 18 years or over And it probably gets around the lottery rules by making it a 'skill-based competition': 2.2. All competitions are skill-based competitions. Entry fees for online entries are payable each time you enter. Where the Promoter offers an easy or multiple choice question, a free entry route is available. 2.3. To be in with a chance of winning, everyone who enters the competition (an “Entrant”) will be required to correctly answer a question or solve a problem set by the Promoter (the “Competition Question”).

A 'band' is the correct term for gorillas

I recently gave some training on how to spot dodgy emails. I was surprised how often I had to point out bad spelling and grammer to the group (adults) who couldn't spot them on the real examples I used

What, with all the civil engineering experts we have on here

One of these?

It’s down to the way they treat their suppliers.

One person household so my weekly shop isn’t big.

I'm another one who has onjly set foot in Tesco once - can't stand the company. My cash will go to the Co-Op in future
