Since we launched in 2011 we’ve been on the receiving end of a highly dispersed mob of self-diagnosed victims of geographical bias. ‘Why are the winners all from down south?’, ‘Why are they all up north?’, ‘What has Stevenage ever done to you?!’ Our stock responses explain that we have no reason to favour one area over another and, if we did, we’re not clever enough to do it.

So, resident PMP legend, and occasional grump, Dave Moore has kindly created this handy map of winning postcodes, showing that the only reason your area hasn’t won yet is (A) It has, look again and/or (B) You live on a mountain or a moor. Hope you like it.

  • Just want to ask how is everyone generally ? Under the current circumstances. I have so far managed to feed myself and two older teens but am not panic buying. I still have milk for my morning cuppa. A lot of people in Essex and probably elsewhere are checking up on older and vulnerable people which is great to hear about given the obvious negatives of this situation. Stay safe and healthy everyone. I hope you all have someone to help you if you are isolating. ❤️
