shinyhappy68 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 See this is the thing. I totally see where you are coming from, and under normal circumstances I would probably agree. However, I am extremely wary because I distinctively remember employees of this company being caught out blatantly lying about little details earlier on within this thread. If it is all above board, then why lie? Do you see what I mean 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 !

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.
