    Just had another invite to do the £6 survey between 23 June - 5th July, so worth signing in to check your homepage.

    Just signed up for the trial as well, logged in to record item received today and there was the invitation - was going to inform on here but I see already people have beaten me to it!!

    I wonder if much goes missing from all the stuff we put into the mail system for the survey alone every day between us!

    I saw my ex-postie today walking down the High Street looking pretty glum, i said "cheer up it might never happen??" , he looked at me & said "it already had", i looked at him & said "is it that bad??" he looked back & said "somebody had grassed him up for having a wee behind their shed !!!" - probably one of you lot !!! :confused:
    I usually like to drink my whisky neat :cool2:

    Probably not. We don't record the Postman's behaviour or reliability in anyway (apart from, maybe in terms of what time the post arrives and the condition it comes through the letterbox [wet/folded etc]) we record how long the post takes from sending to receiving and the route the post has taken to get to its destination.

    I'm doing the postal survey and its not difficult. You send and receive items, logging everything with the survey site. There's a prize draw every month for several prizes of £10 and one a month for £50. Boxes of Thornton's chocs are being drawn for now too. So far I've had six books of 1st class stamps in payment. Not too shabby. :cool:

    Here's the link, though I don't think they'd be accepting applicants any more as the actual testing is now in full swing.

    When you recieve a test item, where it has no R number (either from a business or someone has forgotten to stick the sticker inside), but you also recieve a SMART - as soon as you log that there was no R number, you cannot log that a SMART was recieved. I think this is a glitch in the website, as you then have to return the SMART to them as you cannot record it as recieved!
