Win a pair of tickets for BBC Gardeners’ World Live at the NEC BirminghamAlas I can't do all the walking anymore, nor manage the garden. Maybe I could "use" the other tickets for strapping guys to push me around and carry the presents bought, for my friends ... in a shared garden complex.ViewDate:

Speakers Corner CommentsThe use of very small print prevalent in newspapers and printed invoices etc., which for those that do not use the internet much, are the main source of necessary information. The small print denies those of a certain age, the ability to read the information and to respond. I would like to see a return to an accessible readable sized clear font.ViewDate:

Should ex-Post Office boss lose her CBE or hand it back voluntarily?As everyone seems to forget, the Government "owns" the Post Office, and they and Ms Vernell's persecuted the Sub Postmasters and acted appallingly. A red herring is laid down before our eyes, by debating now, whether a gong should be returned or not ... whilst the injustice is still not corrected or overturned. I was appalled watching the tv Mr Bates and the Post Office story unfold; he and his team deserve thanks and recognition for exposing this horror of this in-justice; and the 555 sub-postmasters and untold others are need an urgent review of contracts to protect them (sub postmasters), from the heavy handed monsters lurking in board rooms and corridors in Parliament, in London.ViewDate:

Win a 3-night stay in the spectacular Scottish HighlandsEven with self catering (I will pay for meals!) and famous misty weather and midges, the amenities will surely be more than worth a visit to this beautiful site!ViewDate:

Win ONE of 5 pairs of tickets for the BBC Gardeners’ World Spring Fair at BeaulieuAlas, this might remain a dream, but I won a prize on SilverSurfers years ago to go to a BBC Countryfile event in Oxford. I would need assistance due to the distances to walk ... but I can dream. If I were to win this, it would have to be passed to some one else. A lovely prize for a Gardener!ViewDate:

Win ONE of THREE Multipacks of Canine KetchupI know of an older dog and a much younger pup, who need to be grounded by a 'paw-pad' and doggy ketchup. Their 'mum and dad' need all the (bribery) help they can get!ViewDate:

Should families be able to overrule your wishes on organ donation?Much as voting opportunities are here like this for Organ Donation, with a staggering 91% (as I type) against families over ruling your wishes to donate organs, (or the opposite donating your organs if you didn't want to donate). The figures of such wishes (91%) to still donate,need to be actioned, either to the decision makers or to Donate Organs, for them to have laws changed to honor peoples wishes to give others another chance through this vital lifeline for others. I am going to use the opportunity now, to update my wishes on the register. I have told my family that I am on the register, but they might still overrule my decision. That is not right, that ultimately, it is their choice regarding (my) donation.ViewDate:

Win a luxury holiday to stunning Croatia!Opened this holiday offer up, on a very wet morning with grey skies gloomily hovering above. Just to admire the stunning pictures of the Falkensteiner Hotel & Spa and dream of a break away there, lifts the heart. I am sure this will be a lovely prize for the fortunate winner!ViewDate:

Win ONE of FIVE pairs of tickets to Chatsworth House and GardenI have recently been awarded the prize of 2 tickets to Countryfile Live in August at Blenheim Palace. So keep on trying entering for the prizes - you never know or have the chance to win, if you don't! I am looking forward to visiting Woodstock and the area in August, and if the weather is bad on the day, a visit to the Palace interior and gardens will not go amiss either. Good luck fellow Surfers. Have fun! Thank you Silversurfers for the chance to go to see Countryfile live. Sincerely a grounded surfer.ViewDate:

I'm 21 ..I get advised by email of your monthly competitions, yet when I sign into Silversurfers I cannot then find the Competition part, to enter it. Last time the Sudoko wouldn't send the filled in form either.... if that is the case again today. (I will try after writing this)...... please would the person responsible "sort the problems out?" I won't be getting all het up for the rest of the day if these silly things happen again - life's too short! Many thanks. -
