I'm imagining the Kate-bashing was largely irrelevant to everyone who isn't Kate-centric in their world-view

Ocado? That's a bit lefty-liberal, yoghurt-knitting and stuff, isn't it?

Ocado is almost communist...

Quote:

Ocado was founded in January 2001 by Jonathan Faiman, Jason Gissing and Tim Steiner, former merchant bankers with Goldman Sachs. When the company first started they ran every part of the business themselves.

In September 2006 Michael Grade became non-executive chairman of Ocado, shortly after Goldman Sachs were appointed as financial advisors. This led to perennial speculation that the business would seek a listing on the stock market. In July 2009 Ocado confirmed it was planning a stock market flotation.

Bloody lefty merchant bankers...

I am not an expert on the laws surrounding competitions and lotteries, but if you give away lottery tickets doesn't it cease to be a lottery and become a free draw ? Since Desmond already has form on breaking the law with the Health lottery I would be interested to find out.

I believe so.
That's why you get (used to get?) those TV competitions with multiple choice questions:

Is an orange

a) a tall building with a sign on top
b) a kind of buffalo found only in Swanage
c) fruit

to which the pass rate is apparently about 70%...

Off topic slightly but I seem to recall that a late night quiz show was prosecuted over questions in that vein.

What would happen was, they'd put up a question like "Complete the following phrase - 'Many hands make light...'". Now, loads of people would call the premium rate phone line for the 'guaranteed cash prize', saying '...light work'. Then they'd reveal that they were actually looking for '...light meals' (or something - that one actually makes sort of sense, many of the cited 'answers' were much more random) so sorry, nobody was lucky this time, thanks for the cash.

But yes, even to a non-lawyer, something about this smells. Perhaps they justify it by saying that the punter still has to pick the numbers (in the way that a Grand National 'free £1 bet' still involves the punter picking a horse). Anyone able to shed some light?

Andy McDandy · **Posted:** Sat May 12, 2012 4:24 pm

I'm sure i saw someone on TV once trying. Think it was Christopher Timothy.

At least I think it was a buffalo...
