Sometimes you'll be screened out of a survey because you do not meet the demographic requirements. These could be anything such as age range, gender, location, employment status, where you shop etc. Or it could be that the bracket that you fit in to has had enough responses. The external surveys like to have an even amount of answers from each and each bracket type does not get completed at the same rate.

The demographic was full for "voted for Conservatives?"

After the last local election results, I find that very hard to believe!

The demographic was full, that's all. A frequent occurence.

There's a certain town near Peterborough with 14000 residents but only 12 surnames between them.

If you see any of them, give them a high six from me.

My dad would have stayed longer in his work if he'd been allowed. Unfortunately there was a compulsory retirement age of 65 then, so he didn't get to fifty years in the job (having started at 16). His boss wanted him to stay on so asked the hierarchy of the civil service but 'rules is rules'. He would not have made it to 75 years in the work, though.

Some people never leave the town they were born in, wonder where she went on holiday. & skydiving in her 80's Well Done!

. I had a chucle when she said "I've seen people that were born as babies" ... how else?

I was so pleased she got some recognition .

I think A Nick Name agrees with you.

I thought she was amazing working for 75 years in the same job.

I suspect that I would have no idea what they were talking about.

Our local parish council won’t allow even useful signs, such as contractors’ sign boards on the road-end of the gravel tracks. They don’t want ‘sign pollution’ but unfortunately, nice as it makes the area, it means all the delivery lorries with blocks, heavy plant etc that are going to a particular property end up going down the wrong tracks - irritating for the owners of the wrong tracks, who have the hassle of the lorries being unable to turn easily, and some big ones are artics with two sections, so backing out is difficult on narrow tracks with a dog-leg half way, plus they demolish the low tree branches and churn up the verges. The contractors get fed up with waiting for their equipment… but there is no sign pollution… one huge Belgian driver backed out, turned a bit too soon, went down in the ditch, wrecked his wheel on a boulder, and was last seen jumping up and down and screaming.

@ANN - why would you want to buy a drug dealer?

🧙‍♂️🧑‍🦯🤣

@A Nick Name - I think you'll find it's the favourite sideline in the hundreds of vape shops in every high street.

Our town has just spent God knows how much on loads of new sign posts. One has been put right outside our house with 4 signs on it. One is a picture of a hump, then for those that don't know what it is, a 2nd separate sign on it saying hump. Then a 3rd is a picture of some children, and in case people aren't aware, a 4th saying school. Another they put up not far from us must have 8-10 signs on it. It's behind the Town Hall and Library, with a sign pointing the direction to each. If you're stood at the sign you can see both,the Town Hall is about 5 metres from the sign and the library not much further. What we really need round here is signs to show where all the drug dealers are, as not every barbers or takeaway sells them....allegedly.

DSM - if pulled up for drink-driving, could you say you couldn’t read the warnings due to poor eyesight?

A typical error on a menu is "Half roasted chicken". I would prefer a roasted half-chicken!

“Is there a cyclist in your blind spot “……🤨

I think it was Adrian Edmonson who said that Rik Mayall once saw a shop called 'BJs Sweets And Cigarettes', and said it was somewhere that sold everything you might ever need.

From the Jennings books: the village shop with a sign advertising "Home made cakes and bicycles repaired."

Love the motorway signs - "Test Your Eyesight" and "Don't Drink and Drive"

If you can’t read the first, you failed and if you ignore the second, you'll spill it!

🧙‍♂️🧑‍🦯🤣

Who's "we?"

@ ANN https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeti_(Doctor_Who)

I used to love Dr Who, my favourites were the Daleks, followed by the Cybermen, and equally some Yeti type thing which I've never seen since but they were controlled by a big white? ball in their backs which if the Doctor managed to remove it, it would stop them. I wish those would come back. What I don't like is the constant change in the old familiar ones like the Daleks, let's return to the originals of all the 'monsters'...and the theme tune.

Never seen Doctor Who because I was so scared of the music.

It was the Daleks for me. Awful things.

The Cybermen would terrify me.

And 'The Voice of The Misterons' !

Me too! 🫣

Yes, I did that!

Quite a number of sites, ( not just survey sites ) do not like the autofill option. They want you to retype it in full. I assume this is something to do with ensuring you are a human and not a bot.

I had one like that and removed the space to be accepted.

If it happens again, please send us a screenshot and grant us permission to share your details with the survey company and we will be able to pass on the report to them.

You backspace after autofill. That could be why.

@lol 63 - Just once

@Alley1940 - there isn't one in that sense. I think what Lol 63 was actually meaning was by clicking on the Survey Draw (after noon) players get their daily 1p. Understandably, this reasoning wouldn't work if you've already collected your 1p for that day & you got the Bitcoin question when you popped in again sometime later.

What is this penny screen out? I have never got that for all the times I have done the bitcoin survey.

If they keep asking "Are you interested in Bitcoin" maybe it would make sense to give Bitcoin for being screened out instead of pennies. I'd certainly be interested then.

Thanks for explaining that this is a question that will appear periodically.

How many times are you going to ask "how many times do I have to tell you that I'm not at all interested in Bitcoin?"

Click no, get a free penny in your bonus pot. Job done.

Frequently asked by those who didn't spot that there's a disclaimer on the question.

"This survey is designed to understand the change in attitude towards a subject over time, so you may have already answered it before and may be asked to answer it again in the future."

Yes - always funny when the survey is worth less than the screen out.

Great minds think alike and fools seldom differ on the subject of disabled trains. It was my immediate first thought too.

Beat me to it, Enver. Though I haven’t seen any disabled trains round here.

Our Concession Cards cover all buses within Scotland, Council services (library etc), but only give about 2/3 discount on trains to nearest cities (G & EH) to/from our home county, & disabled can also take a helper free if it's a "+1" card.

Most trains in UK seem to be disabled, they go slow, turn up late, or not at all, I'll pass on them..

Never been offered such a quantity, only completed a couple of surveys with them in probably around a couple of years. A few odd screenouts perhaps, everything else 'issues' The only surveys I can complete are the political ones.

Been like that for as long as I can remember.

The last lot of surveys I got from them (months ago) out of over 30 surveys I received one after the other, over 30 had "an issue" ;D

Su.O.

Yes it has happened to me .I suddenly stopped getting surveys for a few months and then in the last month they have trickled back.

I do not know the reason but I do type very quickly so they may have thought I was not giving the questions enough thought or that the companies did know my opinions on a variety of things.

Nothing had changed about my circs and I never have lied as I don’t see the point.

Don’t know if that helps?

Or they now think (from past answers) that you don't fit the demographics for some survey, others need extra info to decide, so why give it to you if you don't fit.

I put in the comments section on that one that it’s not the number of questions, it’s the number of redirects that gets wearying.

The ones that really annoy me are when it says, I dunno, ten questions.

Then you find each one will have a subsection of more questions.

I often bail out before the end !

I would rather they’d asked ‘how long’ in minutes rather than questions. Some questions require a Yes or No answer whereas others can ask for two or three sentences which, obviously, take longer.

I hardly ever get offered suitable surveys these days but I get a few pence here and there. If I do see a survey worth £1 or more, I know before I start I’ll get screened out.

For me, offered surveys slackened off around November last year and the number hasn’t really improved.

Well I put 20 as it was the longest but some are over 100!

Thank you Doctor Frank N Stine.

Electric shock through a nylon carpet may regenerate the parts, then they can walk out. On the other hand, they may be able to identify you. Good luck. We will visit you.

Let the pigs eat what they want but there may be some teeth left.

On reflection, I think you should call the police, I believe the Scene of Crime Officers can find and remove all traces of body parts.

😂😂

You have to position yourself in the exact outline or you may get parts reforming where they don’t belong?

Let them cool until they reform back to a body…..

New carpet ...

Body parts are mainly made up of fat so I suggest using a strong degreaser.

Wait until it dries then scrape it off.

Dare I ask..? 🤔

Give it a few years and it'll be the same temperature as where you are today...

I did take a screenshot. Where would I Email this to if required ?

Sorry the ad caused you issues. If it was somewhere it shouldn't be, please send us a screenshot and your device make & model and browser details so that Tech can look into it. Thank you.

Sometimes you'll be screened out of a survey because you do not meet the demographic requirements. These could be anything such as age range, gender, location, employment status, where you shop etc. Or it could be that the bracket that you fit in to has had enough responses. The external surveys like to have an even amount of answers from each and each bracket type does not get completed at the same rate. It just means that the brackets you fit into have filled their quota.

As the external surveys are advertised across many sites, there could be many people completing the surveys at once and it is possible that your bracket could reach its quota while you are in the middle or even at the end of the survey.

They were walking in openly! We had to take anyone from Europe as there was an open door travel arrangement. They didn’t need boats - who wants to be seasick and risk drowning when you can get an awayday tourist ticket and then just do a runner.

Before small dinghy's and Brexit, illegals were getting here in the back of lorries.

That statement is not strictly true. While official, dedicated database tracking by the UK Home Office began in 2018, small boat crossings did occur and were explicitly recorded before that year.

Crossings Happened Prior to 2018: Media and local authorities documented small boat arrivals well before 2018.

Historical Precedent: The Migration Observatory notes that sporadic reports of people attempting to enter the UK via small boats across the English Channel actually date back over 50 years.

The Origin of the Misunderstanding: The claim likely stems from the fact that official, public datasets published by the GOV.UK Home Office only display a time series starting from 2018.

Spike's facts check out. Under the Dublin agreement the UK returned more asylum seekers than we took in, and there were no small boat crossings recorded before 2018. Leaving the EU has removed our ability to return aslyum seekers, and plenty of people are taking advantage of that. At least the current government is actually doing something about it.

We have a shortage of machine guns. I did notice that when the police were on the beach slashing the boats with a knife they didn't seem to want to use them. What more is needed?

Until the UK is not as welcoming as the rest of Europe, they will keep on a coming.

As a generally welcoming and friendly nation of people it goes against the grain to say that, but sometimes, enough is enough.

The options given were likely chosen by the paying client.

So when the Rwanda agreement 'nearly' came into fruition... Why was there a massive increase in asylum seekers arriving in Southern Ireland (still in the EU). And since the UK dropped it, having spent billions on the groundwork plans, why did Germany jump on the plan, and many other countries since? I'm not a Tory, but that detterant was beginning to stop the illegals..

They're coming to UK cos we helped other countries in the past & present, even allowing lots of them to stay here & giving them everything for nothing, word spreads around that we are generous so they all want some.,

Our Govt is still sending our money to other countries, & those foreigners living here are sending money back home, so their relatives now want to join them here in the land of plenty.

Might want to check your facts there, Spike. The small boats were one of the main drivers for those campaigning to leave the EU.
