Re: Slogans - 3 months ago
Like you, I did slogan competitions too, 20 or 30 years ago. I prided myself if I got 1 postcard sent off per day. It was definitely a case of quality, not quantity. I remember thinking it as an achievement when I found the product in the supermarket with the correct entry form on it. The Competitor's Companion magazine was great for pointing you in the right direction. Thanks to the Inby Pippin - General Competition Chat

Re: Tie break competitions - 4 months ago
Yes - 20 years ago I only did tie break (slogan) competitions and won some lovely prizes. They are definitely 'quality not quantity' competitions because they take some thinking about. I only did about 1 a day. I just don't think there are many around now with the advent of the Internet and prize draw competitions which are basically there to get your email address onto their maby Pippin - Suggestions
Re: Conundrum - 5 months ago
Fair doos. But boy, that was difficult. Well done, Teddy G. Well deserved as there was some method in the way you got to the answer. Bit cross with myself for not thinking of your logical method. Bring on the next conundrum, CCby Pippin - General Competition Chat

Re: New to CC - 5 months ago
Hello and welcome. When you press the quick link icon it takes you to the site of the competition. You then have to fill in your details on that site's form and give the answer (that CC has provided). Sometimes there is no answer, it is just a simple draw. Once you have pressed the quick link icon, a line will appear through the competition and a tick will appear next to it. All thby Pippin - General Competition Chat

Yes - Clue 1 has a '1' by it indicating it can only be answered once. Clue 2 has a 'D' by it indicating it can be answered daily. D = Enter this competiton daily. 1 = This competition can only be entered once. Just wish CC would be consistent.by Pippin - General Competition Chat

Re: Congratulations! - 8 months ago
Thanks MikeTerry I'm a bit obsessive about Where In The World. When I've google searched the photo I very often have a look on Google Street Maps just to double check I've got the right place (if I've got time that is). Then I have a read - adds to the trivia bank you see (quizzing is a big hobby of mine). Today's subject of guard dogs was very interesting. Cue tby Pippin - General Competition Chat
Re: Congratulations! - 8 months ago
Thanks Deborah You know, that's exactly how I was feeling about it too. My name wasn't featuring at all in the Where In The World competitions for months, not even as a runner up. And then last month, I won. As well as the Where In The World competition and the Daily Quiz, I also won the last open the box competition too which was for a nice £5 voucher for my local garden centrby Pippin - General Competition Chat
