    I did search for Persimmon and this came up- nothing else.
    I think the mistake I made is searching the freebies forum- as there is a warnings board where this is posted and then also on discounts codes and vouchers.

    How did you search just one forum?
    The search option only allows searching of the Main Site or the Forums.

    Anyways, My post was to the OP asking him to search before posting.

    No you can search just the forum you are viewing too.

    At the top right of the freebies forum there is a tab that says' search this forum'- just as you can also search individual threads in a similar way.

    I tried searching on "M&S Vouchers" having been directed to do so in another thread - this throws up too many results to know where to start. Only a more advanced search - on TITLES of posts only - unearthed this. I suspect the search mechanism in MSE could do with some tweaking!
  • If i had a £10 M&S gift voucher for every time I've recieved this mail over the last fortnight, I would have the £500 of vouchers!

    Yeah, emails like this seem to divide the world into 2 groups: those that will do anyone a favour by passing on an email and those who, when they see something that looks too good (or too pat) to be true, believe is is not true.
