How Muddy Are You? – The Winners

Back in April we launched a competition to replace some of our How Muddy Are You? quiz questions with ones suggested by our members. We had lots of brilliant entries and strangely enough more than one person suggested our favourites so we’ve had to award more prizes than we first planned to.

First prize winner

The first prize winner is Emma, who has won a year’s free subscription to Muddy Matches for her roadkill question. A special prize of 1 month also goes to Paul, who suggested a similar question.

If we’re honest, we did call the authorities to check that it is legal to eat roadkill and if the commonly held belief that “if the person in front of you hit it, you can eat it” is true. The police informed us that you are not breaking the law by removing a dead rabbit from the road, but “you must be wary of your own safety”. If you hit a pet or a deer you must report it to the police!

So, back to the point, Emma’s winning question is as follows…

You accidentally run over a rabbit in your car. Do you:

• Check that it’s dead.
• Have it for dinner.
• Phone the vet.
• Drive on in tears. › Continue reading

Love Is In the Air!

Love is definitely in the air this spring! We absolutely love reading about happy couples who have met on Muddy Matches, so we’ve been thrilled to receive so many great success stories and couldn’t wait to share them with you.

One of our recent favourites came from Beccy, who found love with a muddy match who lived on the opposite side of the country. Click to see a lovely photo of the happy couple, which makes you feel a little warm and fuzzy inside.

In contrast to Beccy’s long-distance romance, is Tanya’s success story of finding love close to home. Tanya who lived just 12 miles from her husband, had never met him before they messaged each other on Muddy Matches and found out that they even shared some of the same friends.

Then there is Robert, who shows that it’s worth putting in the effort to find your Mrs Right and Natasha who loves telling people that she met the love of her life online.

Meg not only found her met her lovely fiancée on the site, but also knows of 10 friends who met their other half on the site! Sarah also proved that Muddy Matches is also a great website to find country-minded friends if you move to a new area . However, one of her new found friends also turned out to be the love of her life.

If you’ve met the love of your life on Muddy Matches or even made some great friends through the site, get in touch with us to let us know.

Want to appear on a dating show and get a makeover?

A new BBC show, produced by Predictable Media is looking for single men who would like a makeover to help them to find a date.

Assistant producer Kat said:

“In the show, three of the best businesses compete to be named Best in Town.  The show we are currently working on pitches three of the best beauticians in London against each other.  There are three rounds in the show, and the final round, is the ultimate challenge that puts our beauticians to the test and under pressure.

Creatively, we were thinking of finding three single men who are looking for a date/ girlfriend, and our beauticians would be challenged to make them over, groom them, and help them feel confident ahead of a night of speed dates.”

If you would like to take part, please email Kat Yazhari.
