What does that random string of letters/numbers up there mean? confused

I mean, I understand the cookies bit. Just the string of letters is puzzling.

I can live with it though. smile

What do you reckon I'm supposed to be tempted to buy with this: CIEDEuIMCAASBmFkRGF0YRsgACoPY3JlYXRpb25Db250ZXh0MAE6NldPUktGTE9XOkRFRkFVTFQsVE?

And why hasn't anyone else got it?

I don't understand. confused

I've had one for something about care for the elderly in Edinburgh. The advertisment is correct for my area!!

On the Get children out of foster care I got 'Could you foster a child - apply online' confused

Ana Sun 17-Mar-13 11:04:34

Now that's weird! I just looked at the Supermarket staff thread and got an advert for Online Shopping, and before that I was on Frank's tax thread and got one for an Investment service. Will have to experiment further...

Galen Sat 16-Mar-13 18:40:35
