  • Just read about an old paper mill on fire in Oldham. I think that's tweets area. If so, hope Poppy is OK at home alone!

    The Marks one is interesting as you only need to have one. It seems though you need to have your one share by mid November to qualify for a January mailing.
    In past years I noticed a few people selling their vouchers on ebay at the end of January and into February - this was some years back so I doubt if this still happens now with the fees and postage etc

    Whilst researching how to save money at dinner tonight I stumbled upon a site that detailed various perks you can get at companies if you are a shareholder (sometimes for a minimum of 1 share holding at low cost sometimes for a ridiculous number of shares)

    Some people on here probably know about it but it's never been properly flagged/discussed as far as I know so here it is anyway:

    i could have got 12x20% off Mitchell and Butler vouchers if I had bought a share last month :mad: :wall: Now I have to wait another year

    I did see people selling theirs on ebay but I wasn't paying £10 for it :eek:

    The other interesting one is Young and Co - again you only need one share and you get a voucher each year

    "Shareholder Offer voucher entitles up to 2 people to stay, from £55 per room per night, including full English breakfast for a two night weekend stay (Friday/Saturday or Saturday/Sunday) subject to availability and terms and conditions. Voucher issued to qualifying holders in June & December"

    on their location map they seem to have about 24 or thereabouts hotels, mostly on the outskirts of London. I noticed Radlett is one and I think eldest child said this is a very pretty place, also Stow on the Wold and another in a very wild place east of Salisbury. They all sound like places that would be a lot more than £55 a night.
