    Regular readers may remember that I use Search Lotto (UK only I believe) as my search provider, for each 25 searches you make they give you a twentieth of a lottery ticket, they use Yahoo for the actual searching I think. It started paying off on the 11th December 2014 when I won 16 pence which they promptly paid into my bank account. Just one week later I won a further 20 pence, then a month after that a whopping 51 pence. Things quietened down until July when I won 30 pence swiftly followed a week later by a further 35 pence. Nothing since then though. Until now! Six pounds and ninety five pence is on its way to me. This time next year Rodders.

    Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

            Have you ever considered using Microsoft Web Performance Test or similar web recorder software against it?

              I thought USians occasionally use "Penny/Pennies" to mean "Cent/Cents"?

                Have you considered using Microsoft Web Test Recorder or other web recording software you can play back against it?

                  Penny might be what they call their wife ;)

                  GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

                      It's the newfangled decimal penny; I can't see them catching on.

                        The USians use pennies as the plural of penny, not pence. Yet another way in which we are divided by a common language. :sigh:

                        If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

                          A while back (2003), I used iWon.com to search for things. It used Ask Jeeves, I believe. Collect points, get lottery tickets. Daily prize was $100. Weekend prize was $1,000. Monthly prize was $10,000. Annual prize was $1,000,000. I won the weekend prize once. After six years, they cancelled it and they donated your prize to a charity of your choice. So I quit playing. :sigh:
