RICHARD CARPENTER (PROMOTION COORDINATOR).
You contact them and they explain, very nicely, that in order to claim your prize you must pay a few hundred pounds -kind of a release fee I think (not really sure how they usually explain this).
You'll be surprised how many daft idiots fall for this.
Kind of like selling your car; guy comes to the door, takes the car, telling you that he'll put a cheque in the post!
I may look like a mule, but I'm not a complete ass.
We Swiss call the sausage Wiener. So do we call the people from vienna. Except for the French, Italian or Rumantsch speaking part of Switzerland. I have no idea how they call either of them.
