Video Draw

Have you tried using the "Video issues" link which is always at the bottom of the white box within the draw box, where the bio is? It will reveal the postcode after 10 seconds.

Also, have you tried the suggestions in this FAQ article to try to get the player to load:

We know that some Internet Providers and/or Mobile Data Providers and Antivirus software are blocking the player provider, Target Video, for example. Have you checked your Internet Provider's security settings?

I'll write the dream, let someone else make a short story about it, & you make a video & song(s) about it. How's that?

Wow, you should write your dreams down I think. You might get some good stories out of them!

I dreamt 🛌🏻 I was in an office job where 3 staff were plotting to kill me as I was their 🎯targets son, one I passed in a long admin office corridor said loudly "Tony was arrested👮🏻‍♂️ this morning", another diving behind me said "What for", he replied "He murdered someone" (hinting so I could hear). Then he said "Now?"- as all 3 were now brandishing their 🔫 pistols.

I thought UH OH😨 & I suspected the double doors in front of me were locked to prevent my escape, so I dived sideways trying to dodge the bullets .... & that's when I "fell" out of my bed at 09.10am this morning knocking everything nearby flying.

OMG I really don't need an alarm⏰ clock for the draws.!

Was it a premonition of today's video?

Yes, it was really good!

Thanks for your response, Em. It definitely wasn’t working that way for me yesterday (the postcode didn’t come up when clicking the link, I tried numerous times) but it seems fine again today.

The "show postcode" button is part of the error message box. If our system doesn't register a problem, the box won't appear, however the "Video issues" link is always at the bottom of the white box where the bio is. If you hit that link, the postcode will then appear after 10 seconds.

Hi Admin-Em. I’m not seeing a ‘show postcode’ button and I’ve been trying to play this video for 10 min - the auto-10-second postcode-show isn’t happening either. What is today’s postcode please (25/03/26), as I’m keen for confirmation that I don’t need to keep trying.

Sorry about the issues which some are experiencing.

Tech have added an error message for if the video player doesn’t load after 10 seconds which includes a button to “show postcode” and the “video issues” link at the bottom of the draw box will also reveal the postcode. This can take about 10 seconds. So steps have been put in place so that the postcode can be revealed.

Some time in the late 1980s it snowed on my daughter's birthday in mid-April, and we live in the south. We also had our garden landscaped in April one year, and woke to find our newly-laid lawn under a couple of centimeteres of snow.

We're lucky if we see snow once in a couple of years now.

I've gone camping at Easter ^ it's snowed. I was younger then (50 years ago).

It's been snowing here this morning in the Pennine foothills

At least it's not the beast from the east like Feb-Mar '18.

I hadn't spotted that one! The forecast keeps threatening snow here in Aberdeenshire this week but it hasn't happened yet.

Fascinating. 🖖

Yes, you're right Pickles, the 1ps are for the page visit. I was so focused on the player issues that I didn't pick up on that part of the post. The 1p is linked to the page, not the video player.

I thought you got paid the penny for visiting the page, regardless of whether you clicked to see the postcode. (Yes, I know that's the reason most people visit)

Sorry to hear that, NoCoolUserName. The 'video issues' link should reveal the postcode after a 10 second wait. Could you please tell me your device make & model and which browser you are using?

If you know how to do a screen recording using Windows Snipping Tool or similar, please take a recording of the issue and email it to us at admin@pickmypostcode.com, so that we can show our Tech colleagues the problem. Thank you.

Thank you!

Sorry to hear you're having so much trouble! Today's code is SN14 0NW

I do love that album!

The dropped flask followed by images of people travelling all around the world through various airports and railway stations.

Nothing like what happened in Wuhan 45 years later at all.

OOH Goody, Don't remember that but "An unknown lab technician drops a 🧪flask of liquid & it turns people into rabid animals ..."

Thank you :) Two more episodes to come, and it gets more and more Synthwave as it goes on.

I think I vaguely remember "Survivors"... is that the one that has a scientist accidentally breaking a glass flask in the opening credits?

Good graphics, interesting video, & nice music, more please..

Reminds me of the TV series "Survivors" after a pandemic, they asked "Are you well?",

Glad to hear it!

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. I would suggest waiting 10 seconds before you do anything on a page, to give the Google banner ads time to load. Then you won't accidentally tap on it.

Try turning your device to landscape, it might make clicking the x easier.

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.

If a banner ad doesn’t have an x to close it, please take a screenshot and email us – admin@pickmypostcode.com

Red tabs are often covered by the Ad' also 😧

The tabs appear, only to be replaced by the ad just as you hit the screen. 😁

Use the red tabs just below the postcode to navigate to the draws.

Agreed.

Yes definitely!!

We keep it updated as new information comes in / comes to light. We know that some Internet Providers and/or Mobile Data Providers and Antivirus software are blocking the player, for example. So the issue is not to do with our website.

Mine eventually played fine, BUT not until I clicked the questions and answers in the preceding CitiLink advert. If you don't comply, it doesn't give you the postcode. Maybe that's the issue some are experiencing.

I've found if I roll up one trouser leg, spin anti-clockwise three times, and balance a baking tray on my head the video plays okay. I don't know how it works if I don't do that, it's just something I've always done.

You need to watch the google ad before the artist video and post code appears.

Have you tried all the tips and solutions in the FAQ?

If you scroll down these comments, you’ll see the same statement from 3 other members.

Links to the FAQ pages are also on every page. I think they ask you to try all the solutions and if they still don’t work, you need to email Admin with the specific details they need to pass on to the tech team. 😊

All of the information which Choc Spaniel provided is correct. It is what I reply to those who have problems with the player.
