Postage Rise !

[Anneyelland]

Not a question but with postage costs steadily rising - I wonder how many folk will still enter prize crosswords. I am 'SILVER SURFER but will still enter crosswords on line - but 61 or 70 p postage may stop quite a few folk with NO internet access from entering ? Just a thought ?

Plus there are some comps you cannot enter on line.

I post about 11 competitions a week ,also a lot of Christmas cards so I may have to scale back on these .

Are there free to enter prize crosswords available online, Danny ?

[dannyk13]

I thin that there are Donny, but the Daily Mail is by subscription as are the Telegraph ones.

[donny48]

Thank you , Danny.

I usually bumble through the weekend telegraph ones with the help from here but would it then be ethical to enter the prize draw?

[dannyk13]

Clueless //but would it then be ethical to enter the prize draw?//
Yes, why not?

[mallyh]

clueless of course you can enter ,it's no worse than googling or looking up an answer in a dictionary etc x

[clueless123]

It just seems a bit like don't deserve to win if I can't do it by myself.

[dannyk13]

Clueless, do you really think that people who enter these crosswords never seek advice?

I agree the postage rise for postal entries and only a slim
Chance will be picked is a blow if enter several each week
Only solution is now to stock up before price rise a 100 2nd
Will save 3 pounds

Very moral clueless, but as previous answers, what's the difference between asking here, googling, looking in a theasorus or "asking a friend"?

[clueless123]

I'm ok with using a thesaurus for help but feel like it's cheating a bit asking for an answer here then entering a draw.
Although...going online is often essential to get some of the answers needed from the excellent GCHQ puzzle book!

^^^^^^
My final quip should have been "phone a friend"

I'll have your prize money, clueless, if it will help salve your conscience. You can keep the glory.

Clueless I personally see no problems using whatever resources you have to hand.
