    They know that most people will start collecting and get fed up...60 tokens, no doubt including Sat and Sun(80p/£1.50).......plus postage.

    My ex did these token collects in the past for a series of DVDs - she did it by picking up discarded Daily Mails on the Tube that she used for work, asking her colleagues at work if she could have their Daily Mail when they were finished with it, and going through the recycling box at some flats (with prior consent, I believe). I don't think she ever bought even one copy herself.

    If its 60 tokens as someone has mentioned, still to be verified, then x.50pence. Your looking to pay £30. Youll save yourself £5 of rrp and incur a wholeeeee years equivalent worth of hassle.
    Save saynoto0870.com in your favorites, and stop giving companies more £££ dialling 0870 numbers when you can dial freephones or cheaper alternatives
    call your credit card company, tell them that you want to leave, 99% of the time theyll lower your APR%
    Remember when that Bank Manager or Salesperson smiles at you, all he sees is £ notes. Dont forget the motto, "the wider their grin, the more debt your in"

    60! :eek:

    Will that be one per paper???

    I might not be alive that long!
    The atmosphere is currently filled with hypocrisy so thick that it could be sliced, wrapped, and sold in supermarkets for a decent price and labeled, 'Wholegrain Left-Wing, Middle-Class, Politically-Correct Organic Hypocrisy'.
  • just saw it to tv too and thought that was brilliant until i noticed the 60 tokens at the bottom too. Usually keep on top of saving tokens for things etc but think ill give this one a miss

    Don't bother, DAB radio is rubbish and doomed.

    Don't throw away your old sets!

    I presume you will have to collect tokens to get one, rather than a straight giveaway.

    Could someone tell me what the Daily Mail costs please?

    £36 this saturday :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Bet they wont

    It was agreed in 2009 that all cars would have DAB by 2014 but the UK government say there is no money to upgrade the infrastructure for DAB to work properly

    It is doomed

    Just read some more articles and it looks like you may be right, but I will still be surprised if it happens

    2015 is the proposed date for the start of the switchover to DAB
    This is subject to full UK coverage, Consumer acceptance and Receiver price point being lower than it currently is.
    Its all part of the governments Digital Britain drive.
    FM wont ever be switched off, but it will only carry local services.
