Sorry this is rushed folks but works very busy lol
Well if anyone wants the number pm me as im not sure if I can publish it here, but lets face it everytime we ring their making more money out of us

but I have listened several times and basically these are the basic points - if you listened to the message please add anything I have missed........
We have made changes to the handling of this promotion.
To date we have been unable to respond to queries and apologies for any frustration caused as a result.
It is our intention to respond within 14 days to any written communication received from now on.
We are working hard to identify legitimate readers who qualify for the promotion.
Unfortunately, not every reader who applied for the cruise in 2004 qualifies for the cruise.
There were several steps to complete over and above collecting tokens from the newspaper and cruise allocation letter received from ????? (sorry not sure if I can say that bit but we all know who) does not constitute full and final confirmation of your cruise application and we apologies for any confusion.
We require you to write to us one more time with your name, address and full postcode (and we can request the status of our application!)
Address is Daily Express Cruise Promotion
10 Lower Thames Street
London
EC3R 6EN
So folks get writing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I, like many, still have every piece of documentation from this promotion INCLUDING a letter from the DE Group Joint Managing Director confirming and I quote "I will be arranging for Express Newspapers' representative to contact you shortly. You WILL still be offered a £10 cruise, but this may entail a considerable wait for availability. Alternatives will also be offered to you and these may include a cash amount, other holidays or long-haul flights"
So.....they obviously have their little get out clauses in place now but im intrigued as to how are they going to try and do it!!!!
I eagerly await the next step!!!
