This is also posted in Information forum - but thought it would be great reference here too.
The scheme is unbelievably good !! you do get quite a few emails letting you know whats being 'offered' in your area and what's been 'taken' and the ones I recieve end up in the junk folder .... but just need to check more frequently !!!
