Every little helps.
Just a suggestion ladies and gentlemen.
Now I am aware that for reasons best known only to themselves that a lot of people do not like the Daily Mail Newspaper, I for one am not. For those who do read it daily, may I suggest that you do collect the six numbers issued every day, all it takes is for you to register your details on line with the paper, and which takes but a few minutes. I started last Spring and collected enough to claim £55.00p worth of vouchers which we spent at Marks and Spencers and bought our Christmas Dinner goodies.There are quite a number of other places that you can use the vouchers at other than Marks.
I am not in receipt if any rewards for promoting the newspaper.

Re: Every little helps.
The Daily Mail was the only paper to publish two of my letters in two years regarding the sacrifices of the Merchant Navy personnel in times of conflict and peace (giving them a prominent position), so they will always have my vote. As for other articles contained there-in, we're old enough to pick the wheat from the chafe

Re: Every little helps.
I read the on line version of the mail each day faithfully. keeps me up to date on all the crap that is pulling our once great country down the karsi. england is my country of birth,i still have family in the uk,so the ties are still there. but every day that i read all that is going on, i know that decision to leave in 1964 was the right one.
regards, stan
