I've just 'won' a free foreign holiday through a company called UK 
Leisure, after taking part in a shopping survey in the town centre. They 
told me at the time that I'd be entered in a free draw to win a holiday, 
  and I suspected I'd probably 'win'.

They assured me on the phone that there's no catch, but I find this hard 
to believe. Anyone else know anything about these 'free' holidays?

You have posted to a special newsgroup set up by
the government to plug the gaps created by the abysmal
failure of their Psychiatric Care in the Community Policy. 

The uk.local hierarchy was devised to provide an outlet for
individuals who would otherwise be spending their days sitting
at home wearing an aluminium foil hat waiting for a full moon
to rise. It was hoped that this would reduce the incidence
of nutters out there howling at the moon and frightening the
shit out of their neighbours. Another of HMGs aims and 
objectives was to provide a distraction to take their minds
of the problem of who they were next going to knife to death.
Unfortunately, this group has been taken over by the 
articulate lower middle classes who have succeeding in 
driving HMGs target audience away. Independent research has
shown that it was the amount and quality of the inane drivel,
called small talk which the middle classes are adept at, which
had the effect of doing their heads in. They left to protect what 
was left of their sanity. This has happened to the whole of uk.local.
hierarchy.  This newsgroup in particular is a very good example 
of another HMG failure. It does however, provide a forum in which
one can talk about jobbies for ever and a day. (Contributed by Krustov)

I trust this post will help guide you in your future dealings with this
newsgroup.

Thank you.

I will  molest your dog for free , still want free stuff  ?  Free holiday in 
Afghanistan ?  Of course there's a catch ,  obvious giveaway is that you 
participated in a survey , they asked you your preferences , they glean a 
lot from that  and can probably figure out your income and spending habits 
from it .   You fit the profile of someone who has some extra cash to be 
fleeced of , they will get out the shears and do a nice job.

The survey only consisted of about 5 weak questions about online 
shopping. The idea was just to give me the holiday, I'm sure.

They tell me the holiday includes free accommodation AND free flights. 
Of course I believe there's a catch, and I won't be going; I'm just 
curious as to where they make their money.
