He an email offering me a place back on the main survey. Thought I’d better accept as it’s at least the 4th time I’ve been offered it. Then get an email saying I will start in mid March.

Are the days gone where we would get signed up to magazines as part of the receiving survey? I was just remembering about how I had a nice run of a few issues of Cosmopolitan and Good Housekeeping plus a random medical journal some years back. Has that all been stopped now?

Magazines stopped at least a couple of years ago, saying that I only ever got a pigeon racing magazine (every single time!!) anyway... Does anyone remember the bizarre charity mailing we used to get with some random small change sellotaped to it? haven't seen that one for a good while either....

Oh yes I remember the coins! Think I used to get a nursing magazine.

I only ever had the Jewish Chronicle or sports magazine of some sort. 

I was ever hopeful of something I’d be a tad more interested in but it never happened.

Yes - I had that one cycle. Something like 9p?

At various times I also had Publicans Weekly (some interesting brewing articles) and some trade paper for estate agents (straight in the recycling).  I was pleasantly surprised to find I was supposed to get TopGear magazine but I only ever had 3 out of 6 issues actually arrive.

I remember the magazines and the coins! It's all very boring stuff now.

I’ve just read this in the mail this morning. I’m thinking I will have to use up my stamps this year!!

I have no chance of using my stamps in the year. I hope they offer an exchange programme.

Me neither -  I have a fine collection which otherwise I will have to sell at under value just to get rid.

I have loads of accumulated stamps too.  People will doubtless be surprised to see me using my freebie First Class stamps on Christmas cards this coming December and will think I,ve won the lottery to be so extravagant, although I still don,t understand how this new QR "thingy" will work.

And what a blow  to all the hobby stamp collectors and those who save used postage stamps for charity fund raising?
