Member Since: May 2006 Posts: 7,005 Send Message	Thanks Jax I've tried that, gone over it several times and haven't found it. Home page look the same just the placing of the old 'boxes' has moved around.

Member Since: May 2006 Posts: 7,005 Send Message	Well - I've sent a complaint in. Mind you, what has wine got to do with Family History ( unless you were winemakers of course). Don't need the magazine offer as I swop with a friend. I like books so it depends what is on offer. Free books always welcome so would have probably entered the penguin thing. Just had this feeling that only 'certain' people got the offers.

Member Since: May 2006 Posts: 7,005 Send Message	Well, there was me thinking 'I didn't see a Hellmans advert' and lo! there is the Genes extra. But it has now gone back to Scottish relatives. Not worth my fussing!

	Thank you, Ken. So I read - "Genes Extras are exclusively for our subscribers in the UK. Sign in to take advantage of our latest offers" I am a subscriber in the UK, but I use the co.za :-)

	I saw it this morning & clicked on it, only to be told it´s not available in "my" country yet. Actually, my country is England. I just don´t happen to live there.

	What has any of this got to do with Family History? It's just advertising. Thank goodness it's not available in my country.

	I've looked at the link and what a slap in the face Members who do not live in the UK are not considered part of GR's Loyalty Club That really tells me what they think of those of us from overseas. EDIT:- ................ I have just complained to GR about the way that page reads, and means to an overseas subscriber

	BTW................. I do use GR.co.uk ................ .......... but I cannot see the Genes Extra page without using the link that Thelma gave so I would not have know anything about this if Gai had not started this thread.
