    Not to put a dampner on things but this was doing the rounds prob. a lot longer than a year ago on many sites. I, and a number of friends applied at various intervals but did not ever hear anything - this is not a criticism of the post (thanks for posting) but a just a friendly word to say do not be disappointed if nothing arrives but good luck & fingers crossed that it does this time for whoever applies.

    Pip26- My faith has been restored!!! At last someone who can get the point across without criticism of the OP and in a polite friendly manner.

    Wish others would learn from this rather more civil way of conducting themselves!!!

    See you have not been on the forum long so welcome and funny how you can show the stiffs how it should be done

    Welcome to MSE Pip, Thank you for you views. I did post this freebie in all good faith.

    If it arrives, great!
    If not. Well, we've applied and if it comes... great!
    If not, well at least we tried!
    ................................... MSE MARTIN LEWIS ... :A ... THANK YOU.......................

    Hi, no have not been on the forum long but should have sorted myself out to reply and to say thanks for postings that I have sent off for and received before now - hopefully will post a link myself soon but unfortunately as I normally see things on here first I have nothing to post!

    As other people have said, to a newbie the site is a mixture of seeing others being so generous (with tickets, hotel bookings etc. they can not use and are giving away and in their postings for others to share) but a certain amount of sarcasm to those who have prob. posted things in good faith. Obviously a certain amount of spam but also genuine misunderstandings in trying to post things for others.

    Excuse me Niccinotts, I'm one of the many people who reports the 'petrol scam' posts. Please do get your facts right! :rolleyes:

    I've been a member since January, and have posted some very good freebies!
    Many of which have been in Martins weekly emails!

    Thank you.

    Maybe that is why I associated your name with the petrol spam. My post was a question not an accusation, so I'm sorry for offending you. As I can see from later responses I made a rather big mistake. Sorry, Sorry, Sorry :o
