Colmar Brunton Source of Fly Buys

I try to remember to use my Fly Buys card when I shop and I do the online questionaire's I receive sporadically from Colmar Brunton, because they give me a few extra points for spending about 10 minutes, they say, to answer their questions. It is through Fly Buys that I can be extravagant and (Fly) 'buy' my expensive bottle of perfume that I make to last a year as it's about that long to save my points for the next bottle...So when I opened the Colmar Brunton email today their questions were to be about TOMATO SAUCE. Well I thought, I know a whole lot about tomato sauce having had five sons and each one of them has used it like it was chocolate sauce except they'd never use it on their icecream but use it on everything else they did, and I'd find it everywhere else too, from cushion covers to glued- fast to the inside of the refrigerator! I was getting tired of buying it cheap in cans and using the rubber spatula to get that last blob out and then switching to the cube packs but one squeeze of it by the lads and there it was again squirted all down the fridge wall... So, after 33 years of it, this year I declared, "NO MORE TOMATO SAUCE! And it has barely been missed which is a surprise to me.
I thought this questionaire would be an easy one and surely I could reduce the time spent on these questions down to say 7 minutes at least So click on the link and I'm away...first question a doddle, "Do you do all the weekly shopping?" Ticked "Yes!" 2nd simple, "Do you buy or use tomato sauce?" Ticked "No!" And then a new page up that declared, "YOU ARE NOT SUITABLE TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS. END OF QUESTIONAIRE." But HEY!, What about my TEN POINTS!! Aw sheeesh, why didn't I quit buying the red sauce next year :/
