Sounds pretty awesome. They should make it clearer that it's actually a 4-person thing, so you could split the cost too.

Sounds a bit odd to me. Notice how it says on that page that the date is Friday September 11th and then in the small print at the bottom it says Friday September 4th. Hmm.

Err, they could've just put the changed the weekend and not updated one of the images. Not really all that suspicious.

It was two separate paragraphs really. I meant:

a) looks suspicious and
b) notice....

They were connected.

If you read to the bottom, it's set up to automatically give the winning money to charity, so it would be a pretty odd scam...

Remember, this beautiful evening with Rachel Riley can be yours if you're the closest to the actual price of the prize without going over.

I once daydreamed about Rachel Riley meeting someone we all know from my hometown of Seattle. He is one of the smartest people in the world.

Did she stay there and begin presenting an American gameshow, or did he move here and up the Intelligence Quota of the UK?


By the way is the reason that you daydream because people are sleepless in Seattle?
Living life in a gyratory circus kind of way.

No, she didn't. They just met and had dinner. By the way, we all know the person who I dreamed met Rachel. It's Bill Gates.

Why not ask the seller and find out?

Also I only just noticed they were offering optional postal insurance, bizarrely.
