Doohickey

Yes I found out that out this afternoon when I went to Co-op store number 7. Its definitely a Co-op group store, it accepted my card, and it has blue signage at the front of the store and green on the back! So halfway through being re done I guess. Eitherway they did not have any clipper tea, so it was a waste of time. I wonder how many miles in total we have collectively travelled searching for tea, cheese etc.

I think the dead giveaway is if it accepts your blue (group) Coop card or you use the virtual card on the app when you make the purchase, then you should be OK. If I try and use the group card or app in any of the local non-group green Coop stores, it won't scan.

Round here the Coop Group stores are blue signage, the others have green signage. So it looks like its only coop group that stock the Clipper Tea. I've visited the only two here, so it might be onto friends and family to see what their local Coops have in stock.

Went to another two Coops today (6 in total now) looking for Glastonbury Clipper tea. The first didn't have anything. The second Coop had the clipper tea but not in Glastonbury packaging, so I left it. The thing I've noticed is that the first five Coops, that didn't stock any Clipper tea, were all either Heart of England or mid-counties Shops. The last shop that did was a Coop Group shop. So has anyone found the Glastonbury Clipper Tea in shop that isn't Coop group?

4 today for me, and I still haven't found any. None of them had any Clipper Tea, Glastonbury packaging or not. There are another 6 coops further out to try but its really getting silly now. Still, got to try.

Its the same here. They are still asking me how much I spend on cider, chocolate and cheese on last years competitions never mind this years collection of cans and wrappers. We went to family over the weekend and drove past a random Oxfam shop. I simultaneously needed to go to the toilet, felt car sick, needed to check the tyres etc in an attempt to find a legitimate reason to stop nearby. I was fooling nobody. I do genuinely wonder if its moving beyond just thinking I'm nuts and into something more corrosive relationship wise.

That's the thing that I think makes today doubly hard. None of the regulars on this thread appear to have got tickets in the resale or so far in the competitions. At least if someone had managed then we are happy for them and it also shows its possible. ATM it just seems (somewhat unreasonably) that getting tickets is for mysterious other people that I never meet.

Nothing here either. I can't remember the last time I actually managed to get off the holding page when trying for tickets.

An ok for a festival 30 litre Trespass rucksack with some bits and pieces included, all Brothers branded. A multi connector usb lead, small power bank, hand gel, metal water bottle, wipes, lanyard and lip stuff. Not at a bad prize.

Another (or the original relisted) Glastonbury Tony's bar on Ebay. Same £5 opening bid plus £3.50 p&p https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/335346746924 Finishes soon with no bids so it will be interesting to see if it gets relisted.

Similar here. However I do draw a distinction between the ones like Tonys Chocolate/Oxfam , the Glastonbury Festival Emergency Fund Prize Draw etc that go to a good cause. The ones I really don't like (myself for entering) are the ones like Brothers. As far as I can tell any money generated from a boost in sales just goes directly to them and no further. Plus its wasteful, idiots like me buying something they really don't want for a very small chance of a ticket to Glastonbury. It doesn't fit in with my view of the festival ethos, but obviously not enough to stop me, as I'm still buying and entering. At the end of the day I want a ticket.

I wish I had your patience. I just get a got to try NOW urge, and that's that over with.

Just pulled up the vodafone t&c's. "Prizes will be randomly allocated according to a pre-allocated algorithm. Using this method one entry can be submitted per user". So it looks like its a one try only competition.

None really. The only one I originally thought was anywhere near drinkable was best of the zest, but it didn't take many drinks to decide it wasn't. It really reminds me of something I used to drink as a kid, might have been Tango, with a mildly alcoholic edge. Not really something I want to drink a lot of.

I was wondering what I could build out of them when the competition is over. I got as far as deciding hot glue maybe a way to join them, but I don't know what what form the arrangement should take.
