Pick My Postcode’s Survey Draw

I like Clausthaler (low alcohol), made great 50/50 shandy with it in Bavaria. Also Panache French shandy. Very few beers I actually like (San Miguel Spanish biere, or Feldschlosschen bier from Swiss Rheinland).

They should bring back Bulmers "Apple Joy" pure tasty apple juice, mum & I used to love it..

Don't see the point in having all these non alcoholic beers, wines & spirits, the alcohol is the main attraction for drinkers, except for designated drivers who would drink something else.

My OH likes Guinness Zero

I've still never found a non alcoholic beer that tastes as nice as real beer unlike non alcoholic cider which sometimes do taste nice.

Wow - my moan worked, 3 surveys just showed up on survey wall :D

£1.20/5p/5p paid & another 3 to do. Don't want to tempt fate but are my surveys back to before? ;o)

Darn, I tempted fate lol. 5p/5p & "We're Sorry" dead end then no more surveys.

But, still £1.40 more to my bonus ;)

EDIT+3hrs: More Surveys Spotted! Yay! lol ;p

^^ Yes to Walr one for me.

Su.O.

Was that the WALR one Beth? I was screened out of that one and as you say , the £2 usually pay out but this is the second WALR one that hasn't.

On a different subject, how are Indie and the pups doing?

I managed to complete it which was welcomed considering the very regular surveys I was getting dried up for almost a month now.

As for schooling question I must have missed the "currently" part & just answered secondary. Too early to pay too much attention to details lol ;D

Su.O.

Experienced something similar ANN. i.e. All the draw pages take me back up to the top except for the Bonus draw page. No idea why, but doesn't really bother me.

I haven't ridden a bike since I found out that I prefer walking.

I haven't ridden a bike since I was about 12, but they do say it's like riding a bike.

Knowing & doing are two different things,... you may lack the tools,weather, time or something else to do it.

My last mountain bike came in a big flatpack, all cable tied together. had a problem getting it home to open & assemble. ... had it many years & rode it into the ground, then donated it to Africa few years ago as it was too expensive to repair.

@Beth8it! - I think I had that health & beauty survey yesterday, but Malwarebytes was quite happy with it.

🧙‍♂️🧑‍🦯

Maybe McAfee hasn't hear of one of the survey marketplace's clients.

Hmm, ... 💭 was it one of our surveys revealing the winning postcode or an external survey? I would have hoped that my colleagues would start what they termed as investments or assets a wee bit lower. 😂

You may lose a wee bit of the fine detail, but if that's not important, it's good (same as emailing a cheque to your bank).

A guy i knew was an independant contract programmer for some Co's when computers first started. Anything he wrote he encrypted into heiroglyphics then compiled & compressed it (making it smaller & program unreadable) ... then did it a few more times. Nobody except him & the computer knew what it said, ... so they'd have to call & pay him to fix anything in future.

That sounds a very useful thing to try to remember.....

Considering the billionaire funded promotion of Reform over the past few years, I think some bias against them can at least address some much needed balance and perspective.

Not seen one that does that. All the ones I've done tend to list the different parties, and if covering multiple questions, often list in a different order. What was it that made you think that?

Probably written so to see what people's reactions are to the statements.

I take it this is something to do with sport?

Might just be a survey about recent sports news and sent to all rather than being a targeted survey. Just for market research information. I doubt that the decision makers will see it. They probably wouldn't let an opinion poll sway them even if they did see it.

Enclosed goggles are mandatory while taking part.

It sounds horrific! But, as always, I have learnt something new from the survey and the knowledgeable people here. Thanks!

Look out for all the A&E eye injuries, if that’s going to be the nextcraze.

It has evolved since it started in Japan, where it would have been softer due to the propellants used.

My son did airsoft for a while. A bunch of kids go into a wood and shoot each other with little polystyrene pellets. Fired from almost military grade repeater guns.

Judging by some of the bruises, the "soft" part is something of a misnomer.

Doesn't sound soft at all.

It's like paintball but use pellets rather than paint.

The 'Bad experience, report survey' link isn't for we Administrators. It goes to my Tech colleagues so that they get an overall report of how many survey screenouts, completions, technical issues etc we are getting through the external survey providers. It is to provide stats to Tech.

If members are owed either a 5p Screen Out Bonus or the full offered amount after our 72 hour update period has ended, they need to contact we Administrators so that we can manually add it for them. As our FAQs explain:

https://help.pickmypostcode.com/article/89-surveys

https://help.pickmypostcode.com/category/102-surveys

Sometimes, if Tech see that a survey has had a technical issue and the database is showing that nobody has received the stated amount, they will contact we Administrators and tell us not to manually add any x amounts for reports about x survey company because they are going to add them as a whole batch. They can do a batch in our back end, but they don't add for individuals, that is our job.

The feedback button goes through to tech. External surveys will always be problematic as they do not hold the specific demographic that direct ones do. Do remember that these surveys are optional, they have no impact on the draws.

Same for me on polfish survey about food delivery for 58p completed spinning wheel eventually stopped and gave: This page isn’t working

If the problem continues, contact the site owner.

HTTP ERROR 400

Survey took twice as long as stated to make things worse.

We should not have to spend additional time reporting these to admin I do use the feedback button available after failed surveys to report them.

Thanks for helping Neil, Choc.

Send full details including the amount offered ( the screenshot helps but not obligatory) to admin@pickmypostcode.com and as you completed it, they will credit the full bonus.

Had a call soon after I retired concerning loft insulation/timber dampness. Had time on my hands so went along with it up to the stage of having a preliminary inspection done. Roof timbers gave dampness readings which I was told were rather high. I suspected a 'wool over 👀' ploy (am an Engineering graduate) and a swift internet check confirmed my suspicions. Our gable has built-in ventilation anyway.

Things have come full circle: I recently walked past a house undergoing spray foam removal (I suspect their roof timbers had become much damper than ours as a result of the spray foam).

Lol 63. Loved that one 😂🤣🤣🤣

Someone tried the old accident compensation thing on my Grandad once. They had an extremely long conversation about him coming off his bicycle and hurting his arm due to a loose paving slab.

Eventually the caller asked "when did this happen?" and he said "Well my dad was just back from the war so it was probably some time in 1919."

Sometimes it's really satisfying to take a load of abuse.

Well done, Nick, that’s another half an hour saving someone else from being scammed. I’ll try and beat your time if they call me.

Rather like all the uncompensated accidents that must have given me amnesia.

Glad it rejected me in that case.

Same here. I can count on my hands the number of surveys I’ve had since the end of November; I think 3 of them were for a £1 and the rest were pence- all gratefully received.

I gave up counting the number of surveys I’ve been offered where my answers, (not that I was given the chance to give answers!), or I wasn’t suitable, but it’s over 100.

I know the reasons behind those results but surely I must be suitable for some surveys sometime? 🤷‍♀️

Same here only a few and most have issues with me.

Happened to me for a few weeks around Christmas, now I get the odd few, but never qualify for any.

Some of the things I've said to cold callers would get me arrested no doubt. A woman claiming to be my local energy advisor rang last week. I asked where she obtained my TPS registered private landline number & was told they use various data bases. I wasn't exactly rude but said if one of them had been the TPS data base as it should have been by law then she would have known not to phone me. Also, as I had no pre existing relationship with her then her cold call was also illegal. I did advise her it would be unwise to call again. I could have been awkward & demanded to know exactly who sold my details but I would have been wasting my time. I was pretty sure it was from OVO, who got it from Everwarm, who got it from the council. OVO sent a letter last year on badly photocopied headed local council notepaper telling me unfortunately I didn't qualify for the warm homes scheme or whatever it is. Never dealt with OVO, never will. Council deny all knowledge of giving OVO my personal details. There's more than one liar in this mix. I didn't bother ringing Everwarm because I think they've got enough problems to be getting on with!

Having worked for a builder and done all the investigations into installing solar & PV panels, air source heat pump, solar iboost, cavity wall and loft insulation… plus all alternatives, I am quite happy to discuss with them why their product is not suitable/not ethical/not legal/damaging to my house. Sometimes they didn’t know what I told them - the fact that I may have stretched the truth a little… or embroidered somewhat… has very little to do with it!

Regularly get calls from Jo, 'your local energy advisor '.

We're on first name terms now ! 😅

I'm still waiting for a visit from the police after I said a few choice words and was told the call was being recorded. I love it when they tell me that as I then make sure they have plenty of evidence. You could just see a fight going on outside and people killing each other and the police have to skirt round them to come and knock on your day to say "you said a naughty word on the phone to a scammer, I'll have to arrest you".

Never an option for 'about half of them'

Yes, Lol is correct that there are two questions, one for business owners and one for fellow employees, which all members might be served.

But Loo, if you are having an issue, do you know how to take a screenshot? If you do, please take one of the issue and email it to us at admin@pickmypostcode.com, letting us know your device make & model and browser type. Thank you.

I usually find that "how many employees work at your organisation" is a different kettle of fish to "how many people are employed at your organisation."

Try a refresh on that page, hope this helps...

We are advised that the timings are estimations. Sadly, they are either estimated by a computer which doesn’t take human factors in to account or by a member of staff who does surveys every day so therefore is bound to be quicker at completing surveys than a “normal” person.

We apologise that the time estimates being out are frustrating, but it is out of our control.

And there's nothing they can do. Just an average time based on those who test them regularly for the insight platform, so obviously they would take you longer. Remember there's no obligation to complete them, it has no impact on the draws.

Thank you Seasider, I have passed this feedback on to my colleagues.

Edit: it's for a paying client, so my colleague has passed this feedback on to them.

Strangely enough I picked up the melody before I even got to the first 'a moray'! Very, very good Enver. 🤣👏👏👏👏👏🤣

😆😆

Anonymous. You got the name wrong. It's Conway Twitty, but it's still wrong as Dean Martin sang it😂

Very witty. 😊

I liked it too. Ditto at Lol. 😁

Well you encouraged him Beth ;-)

Liked it😄😄

I can read in tune a lot better than I can sing out loud. This was excellent.

Oh no, what have we started… 😊

When AB38 comes up on PMP,

That's in Moray

Keep it up Enver .

I like it too and now can't stop humming the tune.

I like it.

Very good, Enver.

But they don't reveal the postcode. They are not made by us, they are just an advert for an external survey after you have completed our own survey which reveals the winning postcode of this Survey Draw.

@CS - The type of survey mentioned above also appear in the blue PMP box.

We are advised by the external survey companies that the times are only estimates. Unfortunately for us, they are either estimated by a computer which might not take human factors into account or by a member of staff who does surveys for a living and therefore will naturally be faster than everyone else.

Our system can only advertise what their systems tell it.

I have tried to bring this point up with the external companies and their response simply is that it is only an estimate. So I didn't get anywhere I'm afraid.

Members are under no obligation to do the external surveys as they have no impact on our draws.

The only survey by PMP is the one to show the Survey Draw postcode. Those are external ones so they can't do anything about them.

😊

I'd use a paintbrush but I suppose it takes all sorts!🤣

When my family first moved to Edinburgh in the late 1940s people would look and stare or ring the doorbell to ask what our Christmas tree was.

I had that one too - no option for "Retired"

Me too, I said no because I don't work anywhere.

@avisk - exactly the same for me!

What about airline crew , staff on a cruise ship or in the Navy going out of the UK,?

Shyboy, I found a lovely spider today in the grandchildrens toy box. It disappeared up Darth Vader's cloak.

UPDATE.

Spider left a note out today saying "I've got enough flies up here to keep me going for some time, so I'll see you again on May the 4th." :-)

I'm trying to work out whether a spider eats 42 flies, or it's a reference to Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy.

Simply count the flies and divide by 42

You mean you don’t already have a list? 😊
