bmibaby registration form 500 characters?

[Mooneyboy]

Hi just a quick question to ask concerning the bmibaby registration online form. On Q22 it asks a potentially long winded question which states, '500 characters max'. Does characters mean 500 words or 500 individual letters and spaces? This could result in a big difference when answering the question.

Any advice much apprecitated.

Regards,

I suspect the more important question may be the one about :"Do you know anyone at BMI or BMI Baby who will support your application" :}

Characters means exactly what it says: letters, symbols or numbers. It does not, nor could it ever be taken to, mean words.

Thanks guys. I was 80% sure that was what it meant. Just had to make sure.

Yes it would be nice to put down you know someone in bmi and put down you have a type rating but unfortunately I have neither. Maybe a bit more money and contacts needed.

Once again thanks:ok:
