Pick My Postcode’s Stackpot Draws

Donnie 😅

Mine is coriander, it tastes like soap to me.

I haven't got the thyme for this.

Sorry about this. The company that helps us with the ads are doing some upgrades and testing today to make sure it is all working correctly after the same problem the other day.

We’ve temporarily disabled the ads now whilst they are ironing out a couple of issues, so you should be able to see the results. Hopefully it should all be fixed and back to normal later today.

Thank you for putting up the postcodes.

They were all there when I opened the page but only the two claimed ones are showing now.

How do you email admin? Not seeing a contact details.

Yes! It's showing up as red for me and only two are vaguely visible. Turning on the ad blocker worked though, thank you Anonymous.

No mine is fine. Take a screenshot and email admin

I could only get them to display properly by turning ON my ad blocker. Normally I have it switched off for this site.

Yes, the ad is covering the postcodes.

No problem for me.

Edit. I read the posts below and when I scrolled back up all the postcodes except the two claimed ones have disappeared.

Yes - I'm assuming my postcode is not there as all the £10 boxes are red rather than green, but it is still annoying

Me too

Nicely spotted. Such a shame that you can't raise a glass named after you because Woods closed up the brewery.

You're very welcome, Shropshirelass! Just to clarify, we were able to pay the winnings so quickly because Shropshirelass confirmed their PayPal email address to us, so we didn't have to wait until the next day as we usually do.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🎉🎉🎉

Well spotted.

🎉 Congrats 🎉

Nice win. Congrats.

Congratulations on your win!🎉

@Beth8it, Barrie is correct the Union flag is only called the Union Jack when it's flown on a Jackstaff at the front of a ship, usually a naval ship.

Think you can, Barrie - it’s a distress signal as Myloguinness says.

Flags were originally rallying points for armies in the confusion of battle, especially where the conscripted yokels with their pitchforks couldn’t read - a white horse, black bear etc was easy for them to see where their leader was. Family crests, with diagonals, crosses etc became adapted into national flags. The South African one has black for its people, yellow for its sun, green for its verdant regions and red for the blood spilt by its people in the many battles fought there.

My flag is of England not the union & when working I heard a bloke of Jamaican decent & a bloke of Asian descent saying during a football tournament "We don't fly our St. George's flag often enough in this country.

BTW you cannot fly the union JACK upside down but you can the union flag.

Union Jack upside down could be right as it means " I am in distress "

There should be nothing wrong with anybody choosing to fly their flag as a sign of pride and respect for their country. Sadly in some cases, it is used as a political statement or some sort of symbolism, which can then cause issues. Maybe those people do that because they don't feel heard, but I assume it can also feel intimidating to those who feel it is aimed at them.

It is not far right.

It is just right !

Well said Mrs Trellis.

The Flag of your Country represents Pride in Your Country.

If a few use it for their supposed purpose, why should the majority be 'punished' ?

Why is none of this opprobrium directed to the Scottish or Welsh people when they fly their flags? In Scotland the saltire is displayed everywhere.

I think it's better to listen to people's concerns rather than label them far left, far right etc. If more people listened and tried to understand other's situations, we'd be better off.

The flag has been appropriated by the 'far right'. The 'far right' is a mixture of Christian nationalists, anti-immigration, anti-Islam, and populist nationalist movements. I would suggest that anyone who is not wealthy (and preferably a white male) should be concerned. Certainly not just 'lefties'.

Flags mean territorial supremacy or religious trouble, ... ban them all.

In what world does someone flying a Flag of their Country make them Far Right ?

Upside down, inside out or otherwise ?

So people that fly a Union Jack are far right now ???

Wipe your tears away lefties

I was pretty disgusted to see our flag upside down on the US state visit by our King, but that’s nothing to finding the Naval team I met at Plymouth Naval Base, when I donated a lifebelt from the old HMS Vanguard battleship to the nuclear sub Vanguard. They wanted a promo shot for the Navy Daze magazine, and it was only when I said, ‘Hang on a minute, you’ve got the flag upside down.’ Nobody had noticed, and the Captain, a lovely guy, said very quietly, ‘Change that flag. NOW.’ The chap who had set it up leaped into action. Nothing more was said - while I was there. But after? How would you feel, having someone who is not only a civilian but a woman, picking up a core fact that they have drummed into them on enlisting, and none of the 6 guys had noticed - including the Captain. 🫣

Quite so DSM.

A lot of national flags are fairly simple to check that they are the right way up but the Union flag is difficult as even the wrong way (narrow white diagonal on top) looks similar to the right way (broad white diagonal on top)

🧙‍♂️🧑‍🦯🤣

That made my eyes water.

🤣

😁

I think rosemary is my favourite, I also love bay leaves.

I too grow quite a few herbs in my garden -rosemary; sage; thyme; hyssop; lavender; mint; chives and best for bees is wild marjoram - they really love that.

Kat, my herb "garden" is in an old wheelbarrow, and yes, the sage is wonderful for the bees atm.

I've got thyme, rosemary, chives, lavender & sage in my little herb garden & the sage is in glorious flower now & the bees are all over it. The scents are wonderful. There's mint growing on the pond margins & the watercress is abundant. I don't use many herbs but I do like to have them in the garden. Oh, the bay tree is lovely too, I've probably used half a dozen leaves in ten years, still, nice to have.

Remember the good old days? Shoulder of lamb for 2/6d, leg 4/-. Mum used to get the noisettes of lamb most weeks - two each for the for of us. That’s second mortgage money nowadays, or bucket list.

I couldn't pick a favourite from parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.

I remember the Herbs too. Basil is my favourite.

Lol 63... sadly I am old enough to remember the herbs too...younger members should YouTube search.🥰

P.s I think I must have watched the re-runs..1970 onwards 😂

@ ANN, got one for the family last Christmas. Only time I get them now.

Lavender

I can't decide but either coriander or basil.

I was going to say Alpert and his Tijuana Brass.

Chocolate Spaniel If you're not aware, keep your eyes open at times like Easter and Christmas. I got one at Easter, couldn't cook it for five days as wife was away but it came out beautifully when I did. I'd used Dukkah, an Egyptian spice on it. Thought I'd have to mix the spice myself but happened to find we actually had a jar of it in the cupboard. The lamb was so good, and cheap I rushed out for a second one to go in the freezer before the offer ended.

Curly leaf Parsley.

None

Alpert - Even older than Lol 63!

🧙‍♂️🧑‍🦯🤣

Parsley the Lion. (You have to be a certain age)

I'll have to go with Thyme – mostly because you need an awful lot of it while waiting for your postcode to finally be drawn!

Got to be Basil for me - lovely smell, lifts the taste of supermarket tomatoes (toms don't seem to taste of much these days so grow my own when season right). Tried to grow Basil on several occasions but failed miserably, probably too cold up here.

Rosemary, a lovely aroma when roasting a leg of lamb (when you could afford it!)

I've replied to the email you sent about this explaining how it works.

Unfortunately not. The Stackpot is first to claim wins, and it's already been claimed. All explained in the FAQ which you are asked to read when you join.

All they need to do is arrest and lock up all criminals. The only problem with that is half the police would be inside as they're starting to find out.

A Nick Name - we get plenty of burglaries around here and there isn't a traveller site for miles. Nor are there any asylum seekers, 'boat people' or any of the other groups demonised by Reform and its supporters. There are plenty of white, English, flag waving, homophobic, drug taking criminals who are perfectly capable of making life a misery for decent people.

Special prize to the moron in my local barber the other day who has a SS tattoo on his neck. Yes, some people actually think that what this country needs is Nazi policies. If I'd been the barber, my blade would have slipped ...

Are the travelling community visiting? I hope not. We get them from time to time and when they do houses get broken into and the small horse and carts are seen running up and down the road.

It could be somebody pulling a shopping trolley or a wheelie suitcase over paving slabs. Remarkably loud, and does sound very rhythmic, like a horse.

Could it be a Nightjar? Click on the Wingbeat heading on here: https://www.british-birdsongs.uk/nightjar/?type=song-741

Other thing doesn't bear thinking about - cracking from old mine workings!

It's Tinniitus. I hear ambulances non stop! I'd rather hear horses but when we do get them it's usually a posh funeral not from the riding stables. x

Posh - she just always seemed out of place!

I've never come across a spice I don't like, but the smell of asafoetida isn't pleasant but it's excellent in Indian dishes.

Chilli powder

The fake meat is revolting!

If I don’t want to eat meat, I don’t want to eat something trying to look or taste like it.

Damsel, I agree , there's too much chilli in veggie stuff. I hate garlic too and end up making most stuff from scratch to avoid it. I've been vegan for 18 years and was virtually vegan for 7 years before that and whilst there are so many more choices these days, I still find it's the same old garlic/chilli/curry options and I don't eat the fake meat either!

Really interested to see this chat - I thought that I was the only one who didn’t like ginger and cinnamon.

Chilli powder (and chillies), curry powder, particularly turmeric. Am allergic to something in curry, tried a mild one once and skin turned horrible blotchy livid pink. Herbs and spices should be used to enhance food, not smother it.

I took part in a trial into properties of turmeric. The group were divided into a control group who had a dummy pill; second group took a turmeric pill and third group took powdered turmeric. I was in the powdered turmeric group which had to eat a spoonful every other day in any way we chose. On my first day I found out that I don't like turmeric but as I had signed up for the trial I had to keep going. I tried it in every way on the suggestion sheetbut nothing improved it. Granddaughter found it highly amusing to watch me trying to swallow the substance. I got through to the end of the trial and celebrated when I took the final dose.

Turmeric, saffron, cumin, coriander, tarragon.......

Chilli for me too, it seems to be getting into so many foods now especially vegetarian meals that it's quite difficult to avoid it and it reduces my choice of what I can eat.

Chilli especially the peppers!🌶️

Chilli powder and curry powder. No thanks!

Cardamom pods. Don't mind the flavouring but biting into a whole one is the stuff of nightmares.

@Enver - I bought a 1kg bag of crystallised ginger not long ago 😋

I like most spices but one thing I don't like is Tarragon, which I suppose is a herb rather than a spice. Horrible taste and often found in chicken dishes which is a bit unfortunate as chicken is the only meat I eat.

Red🔥Hot chillies🌶🌶🌶 or powder. Never rub your eyes or pee holding it till you've washed your hands thoroughly several times after using 🌶🌶🌶. I learnt that the hard way.

Ginger nuts are tasteless to me as I like to eat lumps of crystallised ginger. 🍪🍪

Me too Lol63 and Bob, can’t stand anything with ginger in it 😝

All of them

except cinnamon and nutmeg

Can’t understand why we have to have spice and herbs at all !!!

Cayenne pepper

Turmeric, I tried using it because I kept reading about it's medicinal properties but it didn't agree with me at all, I don't like the smell or taste of curries and I guess that's why

Me too Lol63, and cinnamon

This is going to cause some controversy considering the previous question, but ginger (and I'm not talking about Ms Halliwell-Horner.)

If I'm looking for one of those "Innocent" smoothies to complete a meal deal, I have to be very careful to avoid any that might have ginger in. Which seem to be becoming increasingly popular, but I can't stand it.

I do think it would be good to put a list of questions on here that people might want the answer to. If so one of the questions I'd have on there would be that one "Is there a FAQ page?"

Very funny Chris.

Just imagine if there was a FAQ page where people could go to find things out?

@Admin Marie, what you write makes things clearer than the faq do.

To clarify, it is the number of unclaimed postcodes that roll over, not the postcodes themselves.

@Derek.IDC. dead on 9am or 9pm, the lowest postcode disappears as the changeover starts. That may have given you the impression of 4 being added if you had been checking just then.

Agree with Alley1940 about the same unclaimed postcodes rolling over, but thinking about it, when the National lottery does rollovers it's different numbers.

Plus I'm sure just recently 4 PCs have been added instead of 3.

I thought that too Alley1940

@ Marie - The above makes it sound like the same unclaimed postcodes are rolled over and not replaced by newly drawn ones. Just saying.

Three postcodes get randomly drawn for the Stackpot each time a draw takes place. If you see more than three postcodes, this means that not all of the stackpots have been claimed from the previous draws. The unclaimed ones roll over and three more are added if this happens. This means that the number of stackpots can fluctuate depending on how many claims there have been.

https://help.pickmypostcode.com/article/16-what-are-the-different-draws

I thought it was 3 extra added at 9am and 9pm?

It's normal, the unclaimed postcodes on Stackpot are changed & 2 or 3 more added every time. I've once seen it down to 1, & as high as about 35 postcodes.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Lol63 - sorry, I'm already booked elsewhere!

🧙‍♂️🧑‍🦯🤣

If the giant rabbit covered in jam and wearing a tutu visits me again tonight, I'll ask for you.

You need a red-headed motorcycle mama to take you on her pillion. Hold on tight & follow her lead.

A fascinating analysis. I'm not dowsizing or particularly cramped, current lack of storage space perhaps, experienced confusion & quiet acceptance in the dream maybe, with a thought to possibly check who was in my old bedsit on the floor above.

A wendyhouse, no such luxury , maybe something a bit more unusual, like a garden shed where there is hardly room to move about.

I think it means politicians don't care what happens to us.

😂😂 @csikjanos

love the explanation of the dream @PAUL snr

Enver, the first reply was from Wendyhouse. Rather extreme downsizing?

I think it is just your brain archiving and deleting things you may not need to recall. Weirdly, I also had a dream involving keys!

Dreams of this nature are incredibly common and typically serve as symbolic reflections of your subconscious processing life changes or revisiting past emotions. Your dream blends specific memories with fragmented details, presenting a fascinating psychological puzzle.Dream Elements ExplainedThe Former Dublin Home: Returning to an old place usually means your brain is processing unresolved emotions or comparing a past version of yourself to your current life. It might indicate a desire to reconnect with the comfort or mindset of that specific era.The Smaller Bedsit: Cramped or altered living spaces in dreams often represent a feeling of being limited or constrained in some area of your life. It can point to a feeling of regression—like you've suddenly had to "downsize" your goals, responsibilities, or personal boundaries.The Familiar Furniture: Finding your belongings in this unfamiliar setting highlights a disconnect between what you possess (your internal traits, memories, or life experiences) and the environment you currently find yourself in.You Didn't Know Who Did It: This mystery element is classic. Because the change is unauthored by you, it symbolizes a lack of control or an unexpected transition in your waking life that you are trying to make sense of.The Symbolic MeaningIn dream psychology, a house often represents your mind, your "self," or your current life situation. Finding your belongings in an unfamiliar bedsit suggests you may be attempting to "fit" past habits, memories, or parts of your personality into a new, tighter, or perhaps less comfortable phase of life. It could mean you are carrying old baggage into a new, smaller space.It is also common to experience this kind of scenario as a manifestation of an "anxiety dream," where your brain works through feelings of vulnerability or the stress of navigating unexpected changes.If you'd like, let me know a little bit more so we can see how this might tie into your life:What emotions did you feel in the dream (e.g., confusion, relief, panic, or acceptance)?Are you currently navigating any major life transitions or feeling a bit "cramped" in your current routine?Do the items of furniture hold any specific sentimental value?

The fact you have the key suggests you have the answer to this,maybe you are feeling your world is becoming smaller though not down to you/out of your hands 🤔

😊

:-) :-)

😂

This is all a phantom in my brain.

😂😂😂

By my dead reckoning you've a ghostly👻 chance of getting into the 0C Cult.

It takes a couple of minutes for the new draw results to load.

@JackD - the Stackpot is never before 2 mins past 9 O'clock. Therefore it's not late 😉

Ah, that's why so many had been claimed! I didn't know that it's sometimes late, I'll check that in future seeing as I go to bed early.

21:14 & none of the seven claimed.

None claimed yet on the 9pm draw. You were a little too early as the draw takes 2 minutes at least to load. 😊

That was the 9am one! You have to wait a couple of minutes for the loading to complete.

That’s why, when you join, you’re asked to read up on the Rules and FAQs. All the 9 daily draws are explained in detail.

A member posts a daily reminder on the Bonus Page comments. They mention the previous days Mini Draw winner and say if it was claimed or not. Usually not!

Many thousands of £100 wins have been missed. 😔

I've been on playing here 6 years (never won) and never knew there was a mini draw. It also doesn't come up under the winners results tab. So no idea it was there, or if I've ever won

I wonder how many people have been members for years without realising that the mini draw is there. Come on! Own up!

For those who don't know, the mini draw is visible at the bottom of any page on the site between 6pm and 2am. The prize is £100 and doesn't roll over, and only one person registered with the winning postcode can claim so it's first-come-first-served.

https://help.pickmypostcode.com/article/16-what-are-the-different-draws

Where is this ...?

That’s about average, someone is going to ask where the mini draw is

Ginger ! There aren't many spices that I don't like. Although we used to have takeaway curries that had cardamom pods in them and if I accidentally bit into one of those it was not a happy experience.

@Mrs Pea - I have hot paprika powder in a wee jar, but fresh paprika gets diced before freezing, I put the 3 colours in a plastic container with mushrooms, garlic, maybe bean sprouts or grated carrot or chopped spring onions or chives as they become available cheaply, so always some variety in there. a handfull can also be added to salads, stews or rice, noodles or fried in omelettes or with burgers.

On the sweet side, I like ginger and nutmeg. Don't mind cinnamon but the OH hates it so it just goes into cakes for me, never in the apples! I hate spicy food on the savoury side but do use turmeric in my tofu scramble and a bit of pepper.

To all those cinnamon addicts - I love the taste of apples ! Leave them alone

Cinnamon buns.

FORGIVE CAPS PMP.

ALL OF THEM AS THEY HAVE EXCELLENT HEALTH BENEFITS, PROVIDE DAILY SUSTENANCE - WELL THEY DO COME FROM NATURE & WERE GIFTED TO US FROM GOD FOR OUR SERVICE.

Diced paprika Enver? I've only ever seen it in powder form in jars. Am I missing a trick here? I use the powdered one in lots of savoury dishes. Love cinnamon too and ginger in all forms. I often sprinkle either of them on toast and banana.

I love ginger and cinnamon too. 😋

Ginger for me too but all mentioned except salt get added to various meals here.

Not really a spice but I like garlic salt. If I want a mixture I cheat and use Aromat especially the garlic variety.

Smoked Paprika for savoury,

Cinnamon for sweet

At the time, posh spice ;-)

I made myself a big 2 tier Herb & Spice rack from laminate flooring years ago, It holds about 30 wee jars, I like & use all of the above mentioned - but I can't always find the refills I want in shops.

Cinnamon in rice pud & toasted cheese, & Nutmeg in mashed potato, Turmeric (or Saffron) in stews rice & curry, fresh Garlic in some other things, Sea salt in a grinder (Celery salt is nice too). Diced Paprika is in a box of stir fry in the freezer (great on Pizza) with other packets of herbs, had Ginger powder but now grate some root into foods. & of course Curry powder. Those are the main ones.

Did you know, if you pinch your nose while eating cinnamon powder, you won;t smell or taste it. & ground cloves are good for toothache.

Nutmeg on custard tarts and cinnamon in any cake

Probably cinnamon, a bit in any Apple based dessert really lifts it. the proper stuff not the ground kassia bark. I don't understand when some 'expert' puts nutmeg & cinnamon in the same cake. Mary Berry adds it to her spiced orange cake but it's better with 2x cinnamon & no nutmeg, IMO the nutmeg overwhelms the cinnamon.

Not sure it would be classed as spice, but when I came across celery salt in my younger days it went on everything, I loved it.

@Bob, I put nutmeg in rice pudding, cinnamon in apple crumble.

I use a lot of thyme, nutmeg is great in mashed potato. I really only like tarragon in tiny quantities, it seems to overpower the food. Don’t like cinnamon or ginger at all. Why do people put cinnamon in rice pudding?

Ginger or Mel B ??? ;-)

Nutmeg - love the smell of it, no self respecting Christmas cake should be without it especially freshly ground from the nut.

Cinnamon for me too.

Ginger - in any form - can't resist it

Paprika, use in making potato salad or sprinkling on roast potatoes

Cinnamon 🐷 (actually don’t tell the pigs but it’s excellent rubbed into pork steaks)

Sporty 😉

Smoked paprika.
