I know where your coming from Spyro, that was a bad attempt to boost publicity. Assuming they learnt lesson on that one as "Employee" not posted on this thread since.

 

Its understandable to think if they lie about little things, what else will they lie about and what lengths will they go to for publicity/sale of tickets BUT surely, as Director of Riverdale is ex-Solicitor, he will know what law suits could follow false information. Therefore have it all covered?

 

I nearly fainted when I read this !, are you suggesting that solicitors (and indeed ex-solicitors) are never anything other than completely honest and above board ? Now I'm not casting any apsersions on this particular ex-solicitor (coz I'd prolbably get sued), but come on now, you can't expect us to swallow that !

Which bit? Im not expecting you to swallow owt. Im just pointing out, that with something as controversial as these "win a house/flat" draws, and all the bad press previous competitions have had, you would think he's savvy enough not to put the company in a position where people could sue.

 

I am under no illusion at all, that being a solicitor/ex solicitor makes you honest, just a being a policeman/ex or magistrate/ex etc. Not that I am casting aspersions on any profession, just that all sorts of people do all kinds of jobs.

So the odds of you winning is 3000-1

But the prize is 1100ish-1

Something dont add up does it

Its nowhere near Spital Hill, its nearer red light area LOL

 

Close enough or is my mind playing tricks on me, I'm sure spital hill is the hill down from pitsmoor burngreave area into the city onto derekdooley way, and this is just at the other side.

[Dave650 10]

next to Spital Hill a bit scare mongering isn't it

 

Not really scare mongering it's fact (providing I've not got my roadnames mixed up), I spotted where bewery wharf was the other day and it did not look a nice place to be it's actually off the wicker on those weird new roads that take you up to the NGH.
