Pick My Postcode’s Survey Draw

And I did 2x 2p surveys, both about eggs!

15 - 20 minutes, all about eggs!

I have ignored it this time as it’s not worth the bother.I hope it wasn’t too long Shyboy?

I hope you are ok in this heat too?🥵

Hard luck.

I'd do that!

Vry funny. I wouldn't say anything as would completely spoil it for you lol.

🤣🤣

:-) :-)

FORGIVE CAPS PMP.

SUELERO,

I’VE AVOIDED ‘RAGS’ FOR YEARS BECAUSE OF THEIR SPIN & FABRICATED STORIES - BUT SENSATIONAL HEADLINES & LIES ARE WHAT SELL!

I TRY TO AVOID MSM TOO - SAME EDITED SPIN!

I used to read a newspaper cover to cover every day. I won’t say which one but I had read it since I was at school. Then a close friend of my daughter and son in law told them he knew the editor of that newspaper and he had said that they deliberately print stories that they know are not true. We cancelled it and I haven’t read a print newspaper since. We didn’t want to spend money on misinformation.

In Co-Op I may look at front pages, ... online I see links to articles but when I click the link & it takes me to various newspaper's webpage, asks to agree cookies, then I can only see one scrollable line as all the rest of the screen is banner Ad & subscribe links. ...I don't get a chance to read anything so I close it.

Sometimes it says "This is a premium article, pay a pound to read further" ... sorry, no way I do that.

I had that one too. I can't remember the last time I read a physical paper. And before someone jumps in on that I am not referring to the likes of the printable yoga programs. I just selected "none" as Em has suggested.

I have passed this feedback on to my colleagues, GrumpyGran. If it is a client requested survey, they can pass this on and if it is one which we have thought of, they can reflect on this.

Edit: my colleague has replied that in this case he thinks "None" is the best answer.

Always worth a go on those - most people won’t do them, so those who do stand more chance. It won’t go the length they say - I think mine was 9 minutes.

Titchy If you let me know if they pay out, then I know whether to try it myself.

Screenout will come at 79%.

Just completed a 49p one which took 35 minutes. Not bad for a Sunday.

Problem might be that if you try to get screened out you probably won't on that one.

What could possibly go wrong?

Oh go on Titchy….🤣🤣

I wonder if you can buy property using PayPal?

Will they guarantee your deposit?

I have a huge potato plant that had seeded itself from some peelings I chucked into the compost. Must dig it up soon, although I rarely eat potatoes, so not sure what I will do with them. Chuck them in the compost, probably…

Do let us know the details of the survey you completed so that we can add the amount it was offering for you, Shyboy.

That's a great series, but they put it on at daft times. Liked the one where they recreated a family tenement home complete with stockings drying over the mantelpiece. "Marvellous Miniature Workshop": https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n1pj

Was that the Sara Cox series where they make models of people's workplaces, etc? It's very good, repeated from BBC4 I think.

Jaffa, the beans were yellow bush beans, and the potatoes were supermarket ones that had sprouted, so I planted them. The texture and taste were like Charlotte. All very nice.

How times have changed.Hope your veg were good.

Enver, there was a place locally which replaced zips in trousers. When we went to collect my Dad's trousers they seemed smaller than normal and it turned out he had been given the wrong pair as they were all the same style of M&S, Littlewoods and C&A trousers for men of a certain age.

One business in The Jewellery Quarter, Birmingham had three postcodes.

I have enough trouble with Zips that have missing teeth or come undone.

They're at the bottom on my phone too, which is a Nokia android.

We've had Tecno, (Indian), Oukitel, Realme and other Chinese phones, always android and they're all at the bottom. If your phone isn't upside down check if the room is. If so, you may be standing on your head.😂

@ ANN 🤣🤣 Always had Samsung Android phones, are those who have them showing at the foot of the page got iPhones? Is that the reason?

Is Chocolate Spaniel the only one holding their phone upside down?🤣🤣

Ads I used to get (not on PMP) annoyed me, they were "Rollover to reveal further info" usually by Dell computing who knew how to do it, & sometimes opened a popup, & sometimes opened a new window, like on Wikipedia. A real sod when trying to scroll past them or read something near it.

The draw amounts are at the bottom on my phone. Perhaps it varies depending on the size of your screen.

Yep, that is one of the annoying ads that try to catch you out.

There is a cross there if you can spot it.

If on a mobile you can try turning to landscape

Just to add, I have the red with amounts along the bottom, which turn green once viewed.

Marie, not on mine! In the same place as my tablets/PC.

Choc Spaniel, the draw amounts are at the bottom on a mobile device.

Po-faced Dave, 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 they are not pop-up ads.

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 and you should be able to view the draws because the ads have separate slots. If you are served an ad which 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

I don't see draw amounts at the bottom. You can use the red tabs under the draws at the top to move forward.

The ads have the 3 dots at the top right, which you can zoom in to help delete.

I have complete£ the odd drag and drop and if it stalls Iclick next it highlights an error and then lets me complete it.Try that.

I'm pretty certain that all the Pure Spectrum I have been offered in the last 2 or 3 months have the drag and drop feature, but it never progresses to a survey. I assume that's because of previous responses I do not fit the demographic.

Might be a technical issue. Not every external survey has a drag and drop feature. Please read this FAQ article:

So throw then back in the self service till as it obviously accepts them.

I had a 1p rejected a dozen times from a handfull of change by the till, when inspected under a magnifying glass it was a USA coin..

What a great idea. I have two 10p Jersey coins in my change from the self-service till and I couldn't bring myself to put someone else through the same hardship. I never thought about travelling to Jersey to spend them.

I once received a Jersey 50p in my change without realizing it, and being from Yorkshire wasn't able to spend it as it's only legal tender in Jersey. I thought I'm not losing 50p so got a taxi to Jersey and managed to spend it there. I'm not daft, you don't just waste 50p like that.

I had a Jersey 50p once, it was difficult to spend in London, as were Scottish notes, especially where foreigners were on the till that had never seen them before..

Some of these coins state they're legal tender in certain places, for example Jersey or other places, but no guarantee. A bit like Scottish Bank notes that aren't legal tender, even in Scotland.

Commemorative coins are often a form of Non-Circulating Legal Tender (NCLT). While they hold an assigned face value and officially qualify as legal tender under the Coinage Act of 1971, shops and banks are not obligated to accept them. They are souvenirs and collectors' items.

Part of a ploy used by many companies to, most importantly for them, get your mailing details. Then they bombard you with other offers to get your money

Mrs M - you and me both. I thought they were a figment of someone's overactive imagination.

As expected I got screened out of that one 🙄

A survey - what's one of those? :(

Su.O.

Fake news. I demand a recount.

Sorry Shyboy, I was trying to trump you.

Lucky you Shyboy glad it paid out.👏🏻👏🏻

Not envious at all, Shyboy 👿, you leapfrog 🐸 me (again) on the leader board.

I tried that one, guess what happened :-(

Well done Shyboy and Stampman!

I successfully completed this one as well for £8.23. Normally there is a issue with my answers that I haven't given..... 😕

I'm not envious (😕💚😩)

No three dots unfortunately, just the little arrow that takes me to a privacy policy . Thanks for the advice though.

I've passed them on now. Thanks Enver.

Screenshot sent.

I don't mind these to much, it is the rather dangerous ones we saw in the past that worry me.

Things like putting a nail in the socket to save electricity or pouring an unidentified liquid into your cars tank !

I did report some air con ads to the company that helps us with them a few weeks ago, but it may be that these are similar, but from a different company. Please do send us any screenshots, and the details asked for in this FAQ, and we can pass these on as well.

We get full sun on two adjacent sides of the house so I decided to knock a hole through on one of the cooler walls, thinking I could put a window or patio doors in. The next door neighbour was not amused.

You might be able to get rid of them (for a little while!) by clicking the three dots top right and specifying "seen multiple times". It can take a few days for it to happen though.

Wow result!

Just been rewarded with a £8.23 bonus for a food, yogurt survey. Pity so many of the other surveys are not the same. Still can't grumble with this one. 😅

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.

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.

Screen out bonus is very rare for me, 'issues' are very common. I just get 3p per day which PMP pay not the survey sites.

Yes but without the few pence so you are doing better than me!

What ...9--00== is referring to is called a Turbo Trainer. They're brilliant, especially when it's too cold or wet to venture outdoors on your bike.

I have had this question on external surveys (not PMP) and I always make the point that I live up a steep hill, which nearly kills me just carrying shopping, and if I go for a walk I still have to climb the steep hill afterwards, I often see people going in their cars to the gym and clutching a bottle of water in case they keel over getting from the house to the car.

Quite a few hills round here too, not to mention bad weather.

You can buy a device that raises the back wheel off the floor & stabilises your road bike for use as an exercise bike indoors, there is also a dial for the resistance roller on it to make pedalling more difficult.

You can also attach it to work an actual Google image on a screen in front of you so you can do a virtual journey, even on a motorway !!

PS Don't get in the habit of cycling literally through traffic or brick walls or jumping lights like the Google camera seems to do, as it could be nasty if tried on actual roads later.

I'd love to do some exercise, but I have bad arthritis and I'm waiting for a hip replacement. So I can't even enjoy a walk!

Marie, perhaps you could pass that on to the client as well?

I once had a bike that was bolted to the floor. It was a proper touring bike but I get lost easily.

An hour's walk in the country IS exercise.

But it doesn't feel like it because it's much more pleasant than peddling away on a bicycle that's bolted to the floor of a gym.

Hi RioRita, I've passed your feedback on. We may be able to add some more options.

Edit: My colleague has informed me that it is a survey for a client and so we can't easily change the options as they are stipulated by them. However, we have passed your comment onto the client for consideration.

If I see a redirect to Travistats I just know it will be an issue.

CS - Thanks. I tried Google but got funny answers - check back and had put a space before second S "SX S"

According to Google ... "A SxS (short for side-by-side) is an off-road utility or recreational vehicle featuring side-by-side seating, a steering wheel, and foot pedals, rather than the straddle-seating and handlebars typical of ATVs."

(ATV = All Terrain Vehicle)

😆😆

I came across a very helpful government website. It gave advice about slimming. It was WEGOVY.

Perhaps it was too hot.

When I was flicking through Freeview to find something to watch (other than sport) I came across what I thought said webtv, but turns out to be wedotv and it was listing,"Airing Break" which I thought was a movie I hadn't seen before!

😁@ The Octogenarian

HaHa! Perhaps taking time out to solve "there is an issue" problem.

It's a pity that the name Monster Raving Loony Party is already taken.
