Postcodes.
At home a little late this morning waiting for "be there before 10am" workmen, it gives me the chance to have a proper look at our Postcode map, since at work, Google is banned from our PCs. It is so pointless and yet such fun to scour Britain and the world, finding PM listeners in so many places. Have you zoomed in onto Victoria, Australia? Or South Africa? Or all our chums in the US? Where have you found listeners?
Chris - Mr Blog - advised us on the programme last night of some useful applications you can use to accompany our silly scheme. There are details here. You can listen to our scoot round the globe and hear how I reacted to spotting a listener in Kabul.
As ever, we thank you for your patience. If you think the map looks busy now...wait till we have all the postcodes up there. We stop accepting them tomorrow, so email is now the only way to send them...though we already have many many hundreds that have been sent in the mail.
Just send your postcode to iPM@bbc.co.uk. Put "POSTCODE" in the subject line. As we've said a few times, we are after the postcode where you usually listen to PM. If you're driving, as many listeners are, give us your best estimate. If you're abroad without a postcode, please send us as much detail as possible.
Keep checking back to the map which will always be accessible from the ipm page...there's a link on the right on the main page.

Listen to PM
I found me last night and another two postcodes all on the same spot! I couldn't recognise where I live on the map but did manage to find some stuff nearby that I recognise.
I just wonder who these other people are that seem to live in my flat!

Found my postcode - it seems to have shifted a couple of miles to the wee road just off the Invertrossachs Road. Lovely spot, but there's no houses there. ;¬)
Are you still at home, Eddie? Did they ever come? Is Sequin on standby?
My son lives in a little village in Thailand called Ban Posai and, amazingly, there is a PM listener there (not him).
