Hope you all enjoy your holiday Beth, you certainly deserve a nice rest but I don’t expect you’ll get one with the termites along.

I noyiced the same as Dharma & some were badly written too or just annoyingly stupid.

Worse though was 45-50 minutes the page shut so I got nothing.

I found on the survey some questions kept repeating itself and wouldn't proceed to the next one right away and therefore took longer to complete

Got over half way thru, clicked the page off(my fault). Went back onto PMP site, had to start all over again. Got it right this time and paid out, so no complaints here...

My colleague who liaises with Opinum/Walr has taken a look at the stats and has found that the completion time for this survey is indeed unusually high. He is going to report it to them.

No it was a Walr survey, offered by PMP so it wouldn't be data harvesting, as would any other offered on this site.

Data Harvesting........

I really hope it wasn't a PMP survey, as that won't reflect very well on them if thats the case.

74 minutes...... You should hold your heads in shame PMP its got your name next to it not an external company

It is Data Harvesting @ Choc Spaniel, people are offered the choice for £2 to take a 20 minute survey, they accept this based on it being £2 and 20 minutes, not 74 minutes, Walr know this and if they told you it will be 74 minutes at the start then they aren't going to get anyone completing it and won't get the data they require, therefore they are misleading and dishonestly obtaining data.

This has been a massive issue on PMP ever since Covid. I don’t know what the answer is as PMP need the revenue to support the site, but your only as good as the bad experience you have with anything and Surveys are a huge part of PMP.

The survey companies are paying lip service to PMP, by saying they don’t have the technology for this and that but they clearly have the technology to mislead people on survey lengths, screening people out once they have the information they need. If I don’t fit the demographic then I should be screened out at the start not part way through and definitely not at the end.

Good gracious - it was certainly a long one but not 2hrs for me. Closer to 40 mins due to it being a bit slow to flip pages. What I thought was weird though was the section where we had to give our opinion on a sliding scale ...... it said if you agree with the top statement (next to the number 7) choose 1 - and if you agree to the bottom statement (next to No.1) choose 7 😳.

I read that a few times to make sure I wasn't going doollaly. Perhaps they wanted to make sure we were reading it properly

Google Ads (which are nothing to do with PMP Comps) usually have 3 vertical dots (to close them) & a triangle (to change your Ad preference) in the top right corner.

Gazlaw62 What a strange experience. What was the actual competition you were trying to enter?

It sounds like you might have been duped by a Google Ad as there are categorically no paid competitions on PMPCompetitions. If you see the ad again, please take a screenshot of it and send it to us at admin@pickmypostcode.com. If you gave away any information, please contact your bank.

We have a partner company who help us run the site, DMRi. They can be contacted here if you want to report this directly to them: https://comps.pickmypostcode.com/contact

I've been a member since it started and never had it happen.

Strange - I've been doing the PMP Comps since they started & none have asked for anything .... I've just had to click on enter & confirm entry 🤔

PacMan you wouldn’t believe what the Rural Police squad said on a TV programme a couple of years ago. Apparently all agricultural vehicles could be started with the same key, from little old tractors to huge combine harvesters. Eventually the makers realised that they were responsible for the huge increase in rural crime and got their brains in gear, making keys that operate like car keys now. Adam Hanson on Countryfile was talking about it a year or so back, too - he said it’s frightening that you can spend £100,000 on a state-of-the-art machine for a specific job yet someone could walk up with any old key and drive it away.

ANN, that does sound very suspicious 🤣

The slogan now is Guinness is good for you, but only if you've paid for it.

Strange that no one twigged after the first load disappeared.

Mind You, an ex-work colleague once worked security for a now defunct Department store.

Late one Friday night a tractor and trailer disappeared. A week later almost to the hour another one went. Upto that point the system was to check a paper log, was vehicle ... due to leave at that time ? Yes, tick.

Only introduced Driver checks after second one went !

My friend used to sell Club saucepans and I hosted a party once for her. They were brilliant pans and I was using mine up to a couple of years ago when I put an induction hob in and gave them away - then someone on here (Enver?) told me I could have got a mat to put under them and still used them. They were bought between 1976 and 1979 so at least 40 yrs old and looked like new.

I recall thinking it odd that I would not be admitted to an Ann Summers shop until aged 18, but I could be married at 16 with parental consent.

PA 🤣🤣

Funny, I never got invited to Ann Summers parties

🧙‍♂️🧑‍🦯🤣

I think ANN has a body shop at home... or, at least, in the garden.

I never attended a Tuppaware party but my mum hosted other parties. I can't remember the company names but one was a candle party and another was a home appliances company. I was a Body Shop at Home representative at one point and they were fun to run. I stopped doing it when they changed their policy about not making enough sales. They used to take you off their database and you would just apply via email to be put back on and they'd do it. Then they started making people pay for the starter kit all over again, so I stopped. I never wanted to be a pushy seller. Now they have stopped The Body Shop at Home altogether.

The man who created the automatic online spell checker has died. His funfair is next Wedding day.

Little Owl. The problem with all that Tupperware is, I wouldn't know which container I've to put my car keys in.

SuedeNym. We do have dozens of lids, most of which never fit quite right. I hadn't thought of silicon or whatever so I'm going to have a look next time I'm in both. Thanks for that.

There were some rip roaring Ann Summers parties once you had enough Tupperware!😲

@A Nick Name, have you tried the silicone lids? I got some that were pretty cheap from B&M or Home Bargains and they are quite handy as they are stretchable over a bowl or pan. I also kept a fair few of the plastic lids that were on the yoghurt pots, which are very useful now that they've stopped putting them on.

The funeral of the man who invented the hokey cokey was also delayed. Thay found the correct lid for the coffin, but couldn't get it on. They put his left leg in.............

Ah the times when you could have a good night out at a Tupperware or Pippa Dee party.

You annoying person🤣 We've bought pans from Lakeland that have plastic lids so they can go from oven to fridge, rarely use the lids yet years later they don't fit right, and they're kept together so clearly the right ones. We've also a drawer full of lids yet it's always difficult to find lids to fit tubs etc. It all began to go wrong when fish started eating cream. Because they were eating the lids, I assume, supermarkets stopped selling cream with a plastic lid on. I always just peel the foil back but like to have a proper lid to put the remainder in the fridge.
