If you enter a competition, you enter it to win not come a good second place.   Cheers,   Tony.

 :D I would agree if I were entering the local show.  A family bit of fun is somewhat different though.

It's a dodgy site! Check out the contact details on there....
http://www.nextday-seeds.co.uk/acatalog/info.html
Phone: 333333333333333
Fax:
Email: nextday-seeds [at] dgbwebdesign [dot] com
VAT registration number

I would guess it was once an operating site, but that they have now folded and replaced their telephone numbers with nonsense so people stop contacting them for now. The VAT registration is gone, (never buy unless theres a VAT reg number to indicate they're a real company) and the email address is written in such a way that 'spambots' can't pick it up and spam them, which tells me its a ghost site now.

I am as a rule, very untrusting of sites that feature google ads of other companies heavily. Its usually a sign that the website domain was either v cheap, or free, and the amount of security is therefore low, unencrypted etc... (unless paypal is an option) and not a safe place to fill in your credit card details!
And because it has so many links to other sites like the RHS is exactly why it comes up so high in the google rankings. Its chock full of google ads (so it generates more money from, and for google)


ON a positive note- You can get a red version of St Valery seeds from Pennards for anyone else looking for them:

The regular type from Tuckers:

Not of course forgetting by far the cheapest pro rata. as already mentioned, but here's the direct link. At least 20,000 seed for just over £2, store 'em, share 'em!
