Thanks samandi

It would seem to be fair as it clearly happens to many people.

Hello Maria thank you but could you tell me your email address please

Our FAQs explain more about external surveys, including how we can help if you have reached 80% completion or beyond:

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

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

Please email us and let us know how much of the survey you completed and what it was offering so that we know what we need to add for you.

Hi Jaffa thanks for replying it's just so frustrating!

John it’s happened to me occasionally too but only occasionally.

Hello thanks for your message! Unfortunately I didn't it's just so frustrating to get so far into a survey unfortunately it makes me wary of taking longish surveys from now on

Sounds like the demographic filled towards the end. If you completed 80%+ then send an email to admin@pickmypostcode.com with the full details plus the screenshot (if you remembered) and they will credit the amount offered by the survey that you advise (less 5p)

Puzzle Page is good - around 8-10 different types of puzzle per day. Basically free, and you earn tokens by getting things right, which you can use to open other puzzles, but I pay £36p.a. and that gives unlimited access plus to all the previous days' puzzles. I have gone back as far as 2018 at present.

I do Waffle, which also has number waffle, one word search, stackdown and letter grams, all free to do.

I have just started doing Connections, but there are some Americanisms that leave me floored. I have to look up what they are, before I can try and match them - I suppose some would say that was cheating, but sometimes it's quite easy and other times it's impossible if you don't know what the word is. I'm lucky if I get one day right, but I think there must be two different people setting it, as once I got a run of 7 days, then couldn't get any right at all for 2 or 3 days.

🎼🎼Girl…….to find love.🎼🎼

I stopped doing Wordle when it deleted my entire history. I do Gyles Brandreth’s Full Rainbow. It only takes a minute.

Me too Beth. I do it before I get out of bed in the morning, before anything else can invade my brain. Then I move on to the Connections part before finally exercising the body and getting up.

I haven’t seen Lingo but I do make a point of doing Wordle first thing in the morning to get the brain cells going. Currently played 1486 times, failed to guess it or missed the day 15 times.

Beth8it, just read on the news that Wordle is being made into a quiz show, hosted by Savannah Guthrie. Filmed in the UK, but for both UK/US audiences.

Isn't this the same premises as Lingo ????

I was still using a 2nd hand VHF valve set in that year. Could only get BBC1 and ITV.

Yes Countdown 😀

Countdown - still going strong today.

And I still don’t get a survey Malc😫😫

LL - This happens to me every day now, but I find that if I refresh the Survey Draw page, I get a button "Skip to the survey wall" which does just that.

There are often surveys offered on the Bonus Draw page as well.

It should be a box directly below the box with the post code in it. it is blue and says ( i think ), you have no more surveys. Just click on that box and a new box will appear with about 5 surveys on it.

Can you elaborate please I don't know which box you mean

Try clicking in the blue box and some surveys should appear, hope this helps...

Beth. I'd also rather sell the one item, but the chances of doing that are pretty slim, but much easier to see a million items. And as for the Romans...they had it wrong, should have been SPR. Obviously someone thought it was easier to remember if they used consecutive letters of the alphabet, and another said well there's a q in one of the words so let's throw that in there.

SPQR. The Romans had it right.

Tell British Railways that, they always put the ticket prices up, & get less & less people travelling, ... a vicious circle.

I'd rather sell one item for £1 million - have the rest of the year off. Who wants to work all year for the same result as someone who has made it in one go.

@ ANN - Long time ago I worked for a company that bought in bulk paying a low price - but then selling low with high turnover. eg - local camping shops probably bought 6 or 12 sleeping bags at a time - in the branches I managed we sold more than a thousand a week in the summer.

Just as an after thought - When I changed jobs at the interview I was asked how much money was I used to handling. I told them anywhere from 3 to 12 thousand pounds. After a short pause I was asked " a month". I replied "No - a week". My interviewer was clearly shocked and I later found out why. Even the company's main branch in Oxford Street London did not have a turnover like that.

Are you on commission ANN? 😂

Hopeful2B. It doesn't have to come from China to be like that. I'm the one the wife always turns to if she's having problems with wool. It's surprising just how bad some of it can get, and I then have to try and sort it... sometimes made worse because she's already tried herself. You're obviously happy with what you know so good for you, but do remember that for other things Temu is now being used by UK sellers as well so although some keep harping on about it being tat etc some of that tat is made right here in the UK, so you can get good and bad everywhere. I don't know why local sellers are now using Temu to advertise and ship their goods unless it's just the quantities they can move for them, as it will generally be sold at a much lower price. As my dad used to say "Is it better to sell one item at a million pounds or a million items at a pound. I guess pound shops know the answer to that one.

The things on the Temu adverts look very enticing, but I've had bad reports about a lot of it. I was tempted to buy some knitting yarn. It was nothing like the picture. It was thin, shiny and had a lot of snags and knots. Never again. I will support my local wool shop instead.

Very much to the point ANN - and I agree with you.

😂😂😂

They're suitable for anyone with plastic ears. These days that's probably a lot of young women who don't like their ears so have gone under the knife and got plastic ears.

I don't know if they fixed the survey after you posted, but when I did it there was some other option (none of the above, or something to that effect).

I'm retired, and couldn't find a category that fitted. I chose House Cleaner as the closest.

Come to think of it, I can't remember ever having a job that was really office-based.

Building site, hospital, farmer, lorry/bus driver, teacher, landscaper, road/rail repair gang, gamekeeper, fisherman, armed forces, retired, etc etc etc.

@csik, these days it seems most people who create surveys work in Office's and do not realise that life exists beyond that.

Idtfw! - well said, I agree

I like this reasoned and professional admin comment.

We have allowed both phrases to be used in surveys on our site, just as both phrases were used during its debate in the Houses of Parliament.

You're right that assisted suicide reflects the current law and the criminal offence. The subject is raised initially in terms of legalisation, so we believe referencing the offence to be legalised is reasonable in this context.

Not so. That term is associated with criminality in the UK. Not a term appropriate for research.

Opinions will inevitably differ. There's no right or wrong way to express these questions.

I would never vote for the Greens. Did anyone see what their representative said a few months before the Queen died? 'I can't wait for that lizard Lizzie to kick the bucket.' And yet they still allow her to be an MP. And now Polanski has been caught not paying council tax for the house-boat he lived on - it's his official residence according to the form he submitted to the marina, but he said he didn't need to pay council tax as he only lived there occasionally. The Chairman of the Conservatives challenged him and he had to admit that he was living there with his partner full time, even though he tried to claim that he lived in a bungalow and only stayed on the house boat 'occasionally.' Yeah - every night. Pay your taxes like we have to, you miserable apology of a man.

I will never ever vote for Reform. This is a party willing to undermine women's rights by making changes to maternity leave (reducing it ), abortion rights ( reducing access to it), dismissing sexual harassment in the workplace as unimportant and supporting Andrew Tate.

Over a century ago the two parties were Conservative & Liberals. Labour won it's first term as the new government in 1924 (I had to look it up).

'People have just voted Reform as a protest against the Labour Party'

I’m not sure whether you mean ‘just’ as in ‘recently’, or ‘just’ as in ‘only’, but either way it should be remembered that that’s essentially why we currently have Labour running the country. In the run-up to the 2024 General Election, Labour spoke very liittle about what they intended to do if they were voted in, concentrating instead on presenting themselves primarily as offering ‘change’. It was the word repeatedly rammed down the electorate’s throat throughout the campaign because the strategists realised that the public were fed up to the back teeth with the Conservatives, and simply offering something that WASN’T the Conservatives would likely bring success.

It certainly brought success in terms of the overall result, but the underlying figures reveal that the British public weren’t just fed up with the Conservatives, they were fed up with politics and politicians in general. Of those eligible to vote, only 60% actually did so – and, of those, only 33.7% voted Labour, which means that Starmer’s so-called ‘landslide’ and the ‘clear mandate’ he’s so fond of reminding everyone about were achieved on the basis of a fraction over 20% of the electorate voting for him. Four out of five of those who could vote either chose not to, or voted for someone else. Not exactly a ringing endorsement.

Reform’s populist approach is attracting a disgruntled public whose tolerance for established politicians and political parties has worn thin. Whatever else he might be, Nigel Farage is an excellent communicator, getting his points across in a way that people immediately understand, whether they agree with them or not. Like Labour in 2024, he's light on policy, but presents himself and his party as offering 'change'. It remains to be seen whether the recent results represent a simple protest vote, or a more fundamental shift in the country’s political landscape. Perhaps the old two-party system really is dead, or perhaps people will revert to type when it comes to choosing someone to run the country rather than organising refuse collections and making cursory efforts to fill in a few potholes. I think the next two years or so, during which Reform will have a chance to show whether they have the ability to run things at a local level, will have a big bearing on what happens at the next General Election.

Interesting times….

We've had a Labour controlled Council since the year dot. They still have control, but all the contested seats have been won by Reform. No one in my area seems to know who the winner is, hasn't been visited before the election and there hasn't even been a 'thank you for voting me in' message from her yet.

People have just voted Reform as a protest against the Labour Party, though they know virtually nothing about the person they voted in! 🤔

A few years a local councillor knocked the door & said I'm probably wasting my time but do you want a leaflet. He's actually a nice bloke & we get on well but he no longer stands.

I read that a Green Party MSP does not have the right to remain in this Country ?

I thought you had to be a British Citizen to stand ?

I have always had a personal policy of voting only for a candidate who has made contact with me, preferably by knocking on the door or by putting a leaflet through the door. I was surprised that this time my MP called as he was canvassing for these council elections and spent several minutes talking to me about policies.

We have a similar problem in this area, the area we have been twinned with has the same industrial past, but has different problems to the ones we have locally. Someone told me it was because they have a number of new housing estates (built in the area where there was industry) and there would be more votes for a particular party. Well it has spectacularly failed in that respect! Why don't they just look on a map before deciding these things. A Nick Name, have you tried this site? You can click on the candidate's name to find out a bit about them: https://whocanivotefor.co.uk/

Apparently Hampshire Conservative seat lost power - no overall winner - but Fareham is Conservative- not sure what Southampton did. I voted, but didn’t know the candidate personally. I thought there would be a New Forest candidate, as there usually is. This voting system has me totally lost. At present we are New Forest East, but I think they want to absorb us into Southampton and Eastleigh, which is ludicrous. How can a council dealing with Eastleigh, 20 miles away from me, and urban, with an airport and motorway, understand and support the affairs of rural villages of our area and another 15 miles further out? We will be relegated to the ‘back doorstep’, only considered when an election is in the offing. I have spoken to several locals and they are all strongly against the carving up of the New Forest. The strong suspicion is that ABP Ports, who want to develop along the Waterside on the West of Southampton Water, have been turned down several times, so by swallowing up the area into Southampton’s council they will be more likely to get plans approved.

SNP was voted for my area, despite previous scandal with Sturgeon.

I'm in a predominantly Asian area and not surprisingly turnout was very low, maybe due to elections being cancelled, then reinstated but no notifications sent out, but it went to the only Asian candidate out of six candidates. I therefore have been trying to find out his policies as being an Independent I have no idea. I've had no luck so far. It seems a few Asian areas round here had the same results, all going to independent Asian candidates. I know reform have few policies but at least I know one or two of them but these Independents I'm lost. Any ideas how you're supposed to find out? I have followed politics for quite a number of years now but due to main parties winning I've not come across independent candidates in our area previously.

Our two nearest Council wards where lost by Labour. Ours to Independent next door to Reform, that's a win - win for me.

Labour need a kick up the jacksy to realise what the Country needs.

It's looking pretty dire up here in Yorkshire too. Our council doesn't declare until tomorrow, but I see much of South Yorkshire has gone to Reform. I fear we'll go the same way. But, as you say, at least it will give people a chance to see what they're like "in person" so to speak (I doubt they will be good), and at least it should be a wake-up call to other parties. We will have to see how it all goes..... :-/

I didn't vote for them, but I think it is good to move away from the two party system. If only the same could be said for US politics.

Jaffa is right, the result is a cry of "Sort yourselves out for God's sake!"

It’s a bit frightening that it was such a large swing to a party with no great experience but this protest often happens at local level.

Time for the other parties to buck their ideas up!

Yes excellent point Saphicat. I'm staying in Kent at the moment, which is a reform led Council. The roads in this part of Kent are dire.

We didn't have any elections this year. I've never considered voting RUK but, at least we'll be in a better position to know how good/bad/indifferent they fare before the next General Election.

I came here to say the same! :-)

Sorry that it was one of our longer ones, but we have to go with what a paying client wants.

People win on here every day. Have a look at some of the stats at the bottom of the Main Draw page or read the comments on here from people who have won.

After over 15 years? You are joking aren't you?

Admin pay winners every day.

If you check here - https://pickmypostcode.com/past-winners/ - you will see a list.

Yes, my colleague fixed it this morning.

I had that one yesterday only accepting one; again today, but now allowing three selections.

Worked for me too.

I did this survey and was able to choose three topics.

Just had to do that survey for a second time.

Su.O.

Thanks for flagging. I've let my colleagues know.

Just came to say I have the same issue, the list needs tick boxes not those round ones, as I can only select one option as it is.

Any survey question with circular tick-boxes will only allow one answer. If you want to allow multiple answers you have to select a different type of list when you’re designing your survey. It will appear as square tick-boxes.

So clearing your cache whilst standing on your head won’t help, regardless of whether you remember the words of the national anthem.

Yep, same for me too

Same here - "Just the one Mrs Wembley" 😉

Ah, but have you tried clearing cache, enable cookies whilst standing on your head reciting the National Anthem ?

No. Never worked for me either ! 😆

Ditto - only lets me pick one.

Yes just had a go at that, if you select a second 1 the first goes off & so on. It’s impossible to select 3.

The following questions on mine, the choice of answers was so jumbled up that I couldn’t be sure if I was selecting the correct one.

Mine seems to have increased too. Thank you.

I think my bonus has increased too, thank you.

Also acknowledgeing extra £1 added to my bonus. Thank you.

Noticed an extra £1 added to my bonus. Wasn't needed/expected but gratefully received ;o)

Su.O.

I want to complain that I didn't get this survey lol.

Sorry about this. I've passed this onto my colleagues. It sounds like there may have been an error in the image used for this offer, which should have said £1 rather than £2.

Edit: My colleague has said he will take a look into this and ensure people are paid the right bonus amount.

Photo sent to Marie.

Agreed. Offered £2, but paid £1. Too late to take a screenshot by then.

Same here. I completed the £2 Opinium survey and only received £1. Didn't realise it until it was too late and I couldn't get any screen shots.

Mine initially offered £2 like others but only paid £1 on completion.

Like V I was offered £2 but I only got 10p & was offered a £1 survey. That survey turned out to have a £2 offer which then told me that I taken that survey.

The first notification for me was £2. It was the green advert as you come onto the page - would you like to do this survey for £2.

@ Graeme, @V, the first notification was definitely offering £1, the panel said £2, but the actual payment was the original £1 as stated.

I got offered a £2 Opinium survey but I am sure I only got £1.

Same here £1 then £2, then £1 paid = happy...

Thought I'd misread £2. You just confirmed I hadn't. Was only expecting £1 and got it immediately.

If it's the same one I did, I was offered a £1, then when I said yes it showed a £2 splash screen, but when I completed it I got the original £1 immediately.

I was going to post about it so admin could check as I had a feeling some might mention the discrepancy whereas I wasn't bothered as it was originally correct.

As for non-payment, that's very unusual for Opinium not to pay immediately (I've never encountered it in 100's done).

Su.O.

I too have been having issues with both Prodege and Pure Spectrum surveys today. I've been offered lots of surveys but I would estimate that over 95% of them there was an 'issue' with my answers (even though I wasn't even asked a question in the first place). If the vast majority screened out and gave a 5p reward I wouldn't mind so much.

Thanks for the offer Marie but I did not take any details. I am happy with the 5pences that I got.

Please email us and let us know how much each of the surveys was offering so that we know what we need to add for you.

We only make the ads about Win A Dinner & Snip, our own sites. The rest are just ad spaces which we rent out to Google ads.

They all have an x in the corner and only take a second to close. They will fill the page if you touch them outside of the x. Just make sure that you don’t scroll too quickly and accidentally hit it, then you will be able to react to the ad when it comes up by closing it, instead of accidentally swiping on it. Turning your device to landscape should expand the ad and make clicking the x easier.

Some of these bottom banner ads have a bit of movement or animation where they bring themselves to the person’s attention by filling half of the screen and then shrinking back down. But that is separate to a full on pop up.

The ad stays at the bottom of a hand held device, not static on a section of our site. You can continue to scroll and see what was under the ad. The page moves separately to the ad.

Our draw boxes have red buttons in them which enable you to navigate between the pages. The Main Draw box has a red button which says “Check survey draw”. The Survey Draw’s button then says “Check video draw” etc. So there are other ways to move around the site.

There should not be full pop up ads on our site. If it is not one which shrinks to a banner or bar size, or if it doesn’t have an x to close it, please take a screenshot and email us – admin@pickmypostcode.com

https://help.pickmypostcode.com/article/113-what-to-do-if-you-see-a-dodgy-or-inappropriate-advert

It's the ads which finance the prizes, meaning it costs you nothing to take part.

All's I can say is, you will get used to it.

Hopefully ?

Oh dear! If only you'd taken a minute to check the FAQ

https://help.pickmypostcode.com/article/163-theres-an-ad-blocking-the-tabs

Every election time our Lim Dem candidates (who have control of the council) issue leaflets with photos of them pointing at all the pot holes.

Then when they get re-elected, nothing happens to the pot-holes, but the council tax increases by the maximum amount permitted.

Much worse, I'm afraid. I know it hardly seems possible, but it would be. Thankfully this is just for local councils so at least they wouldn't stuff up the whole country. It wasn't actually a political jibe at Reform, though, I just find it amazing that they would up front just say that they were not promising anything at all. At least it's honest, I guess.

Rusty. "Reform - No promises and no idea".

Is that worse than "promises and no idea" which we've had for many years? I think not.

Nothing in North Somerset that I'm aware of, although having said that we had a group of people round last weekend, canvassing for Reform, OH sent them away with a curt no, to the question, " will you vote Reform?"

No election in North Shropshire either.

Tudiefair, many years ago my OH bought his Norton Commando from a place called Froghall in the Staff. Moorlands. What a lovely part of the world to live in. We returned later in the year to take my dear old mum on a 2 hour canal trip in the same area. Their onboard afternoon tea was scrumptious!

No election in Staffordshire Moorlands.

@Rusty, half price bus fares for under 25's would not go down well here! We have free bus passes for under 21's in Scotland. And over 60's. (Don't all rush at once).

On the original question, I thought some English councils were not having elections this time.

I'll be voting (I always do). Saw a summary of the party manifestos for our County today. Greens were actually saying they don't want large solar farms (weird). Lib Dem were the most reasonable with half price bus fares for under 25s and using AI to speed up the pothole assessment process to improve the time it takes to deal with them. I couldn't quite believe Reform, though - no manifesto at all, but they have "lots of good people" apparently. So no promises and no idea then. I really have no idea how it's going to go here, although traditionally it's been all Conservative in my area.

If you haven't got a driving licence or a passport, a bus pass or a blue badge card will do. If yoi'e none of those, your coucil will be able to issue you with an ID card - though you may have left it too late for this election!

If you do go to vote, REMEMBER photo ID is required.

We have actually received two canvassing leaflets - that’s a step up from last year, when we got our first ever, in 46 years. I’m afraid the Green one went straight for recycling- well, it is what they want to promote, isn’t it? Did anyone see the abysmal election broadcast by Labour (I think) last week? Absolute rubbish, probably put off their last voters. Perhaps it was made for them by Kemi & co ?🙂 It was a female (possibly Angela Rayner, maybe not) sitting at a table ironically urging the opposite of everything decent - ‘Don’t go to work - play the system and stay on benefits’, that sort of thing - that’s not a quote, by the way. I started with a double take, thinking, ‘That’s different’ then got fed up with it - it went on and on and on. In the end I turned it off.

Mine was posted last week as well...

Posted my vote a week ago as soon as I received the voting slip.

We had the check address/voting info cards delivered about a month ago and the postal voting card arrived a couple of weeks later. I posted it back with my vote straight away. None of the parties in this area mentioned any of the things people complain the most about around here, eg buses!

Already done a postal vote, anyone can do them now

Our cards were found on the doorstep, soaking wet. No excuse for not putting them in the letter box - except it is not in the door it is on the wall.

That's endurance FLATtening!

If the🔋🔋🔋 batteries lost the will to LIVE, you could 🔌⚡CHARGE Purespectrum with ecSTATIC torture.

I also notice how often the AA one comes around, but in that case it is more because I feel there should be an option for already being a member. Having to say "No" gives the wrong impression.

I don't mind this question. Nice easy one to answer.

Please read the disclaimer which comes with the survey.

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.

Clients paying us to undertake market research is part of what enables us to be a free prize draw giveaway. We can’t afford to turn away paying clients. As long as they wish to keep paying for us to ask it, we will. It only takes a second to answer.

Barry ….. your not wrong 😉😉

Complaining about the advert takes longer than clicking No.

Why does this question seed to annoy so many people? It clearly states it's an ongoing question which will be asked again. That's the point of it after all. It earns money for PMP and therefore contributes to the prizes, so it will not disappear. As Lidlicker says, just click 'no' and move on. Takes seconds and is shorter than many other survey questions that reveal the draw.

My answer is always No.

I'm not interested in "investing" in anything, it's a ploy to get some of your hard earned cash, by converting it into other units that can vary in value & confuse you with charges etc.

When a certain day comes Bitcoin will crash & become worthless.

The five hundredth & oneth time will be with you shortly 🤣

Actually, I should say that I'm a teeny bit impressed that you even counted them. Personally, I take less than a second to click 'No' & just move on 🤷

"Looking but not seeing" a 21st century phenomenon.

And for the five hundreth time read the message at the top which tells you the survey is ongoing to check for any moves in the popularity of Bitcoin.

😁I would quite happily accept a win in 10 years, tomorrow or even tonight. 🍀🤞🍀

@ tetleyt - I got that one too. Quite surprised it was very short for £2 but I am not complaining as I have been paid.

The system completes the draws from a database of active account ID numbers using a random number generator and the parameters of the smallest ID number to the largest. It then displays the postcode on the chosen account number as the winner of the draw. All it ‘sees’ is the account numbers of active members, it is not influenced by any other data or outside factors and is as random as a computer can be.

Or tonight! 😃

@Bonehead, or tomorrow. 😊

You might get to claim it in 10 years 😜

Anonymous. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Fuzzy wuzzy was a woman

Spare time in my world goes with the left over pizza, along with the unicorn in the corner of the kitchen.

@ Cakey - I replied exactly the same as you did. Strange world.

When I was young I was told I shouldn't do it as I could go blind. Even now at my age I still do it, although now it's not poking myself in the eye with my finger, it tends to be putting my glasses on and I get one of the arms in my eye if I'm not careful.

I answered this with: I am retired so all my time is spare time and I choose everything I do.
