IT really is about time those ring-in competitions for simpletons were stopped.
All the questions could be answered by someone with an IQ of nought.
I couldn't believe one on Challenge TV during the week "Who had a hit with Candle in the Wind" Elton - Jim John or Jeff?
How many thousands of people are moved to spend a few bob to ring in an answer on the off chance of winning a wide-screen TV.
The companies must be laughing all the way to the bank.
I was a keen competition entrant when you could post them. I won an alarm TV and was stunned when it arrived on the doorstep because I couldn't remember what I'd done to get it. It was, however, gratefully received.
Bring back more postal comps.
