Actually, Ballbag also posted the correct answers, and he posted them first; he should get the 'Prize of the day'.

I only just got to the thread, and it was all over - but I got them all right too, although I will admit to not being sure about the definition of a White Christmas. I guessed it right though.

a)1
b) This being the company I work for I'm not gonna start on how ambiguous those answers are I could just cut and paste from the rules but I'm too lazy so I'm claiming this as a point on picky gorunds.
c) 3
d) all of the above and me as well so that one was easy
e) 2 along with dasher, dancer, prancer, blitzen and another one, damn it's like the seven dwarves, oh Rudolph!
f) 1

I reckon that should be a pretty good score....

Didn't read the second page and I only got 1 wrong according to my results, the first one, If your docking me a point for the second one, I really do work for William hill so I'll paste the entire rules sheet on here if anyone wants to disagree with me about it so I got 5!

Which is still crap considering the answers had been given.....

I'm sorry, but if you are refusing to answer a question, then you get a point off.

William Hill wrote:2. CHRISTMAS BETS

a)i) White Christmas: Unless advertised otherwise, an official Met Office/Weather Centre must verify that snow has fallen at the nominated location at any time during the 24 hours of the 25th December.

ii) Single bets only are accepted. Accumulative bets that are accepted will be settled as singles with the stake apportioned.

iii) Bets are accepted only for locations at which there is an official Met Office/Weather Centre unless advertised otherwise, in which case we will nominate in advance the independent body who have agreed to monitor whether or not snow has fallen.


So it's not just London for starters as the Nottingham Evening post building is also recognised as are the studios where they film Corrie in Manchester. Also it only says that snow must have fallen, nothing about a single flake, do you image that they have people standing on the rooftops for 24 hours? What if they blink and miss the one and only flake?
