Is anybody on here currently using MailChimp?


Were you aware that it has been taken over and you now have to pay for emailing more than 500 people?


I found this out accidentally. I have just looked at Trust Pilot reviews. One star 😡


Apparently this is from March. Nobody has notified us. I don't know what will happen when I try to send a newsletter this week.


Any ideas, anyone? Any other decent free newsletter providers?


I don't mind paying, but all this seems very underhand.

Hi Sue. I know this is weeks later so you will probably have already found your way around this


But in the intervening period, the newsletters I get from other sources have all migrated from mailchimp (noisily and with much criticism. Correctly) to Substack


I can’t vouch for the substack experience. But given it seems to be where the crowd is headed, I thought it worth sharing

Thanks Sephiroth.


I am using MailerLite now, which was recommended to me, and I've just sent out our first newsletter from there.


It isn't ideal for various reasons, and it's a bit of a steep learning curve, but I'll wait and see how it goes.


I haven't heard of Substack! I will investigate!

    • At it's peak I recall 16 Furkin pubs, all brewing their own.    The first pub was the Goose, followed by the Ferret, the wonderful Pheonix, Fox and one other, not necessarily in that order, when I discovered them. I did all 16 on public transport in one day with a group many years ago, if Guinness had a record this would be one, as everyone else would hire a minibus. Reverting to Wiki, it maxed out with 19 home brew pubs, and many more not brewing before the end: chain was established in 1979 by David Bruce as Bruce's Brewery, the Firkin Brewery grew as a chain of mostly brewpubs offering cask ale. It was acquired by Midsummer Leisure in 1988, Stakis Leisure in 1990 and then by Allied Domecq in 1991; by 1995 the chain had 44 pubs, 19 of which brewed beer on site.[1] In 1999, Punch Taverns bought the entire chain and the rights to the Firkin brand,[2] and then sold 110 of the pubs to Bass, leaving 60 Firkin pubs under Punch ownership.[3] The brewery side of the chain was wound up, and in March 2001 Punch announced that the Firkin brand was to be discontinued.[4] 
    • Hello! I’m looking to collect some pallets and MDF boards from anyone in the area who has some and no longer needs them?   It would also be a huge bonus if anyone has a PA sound system I could rent/borrow/buy off them.   Thank you in advance!
    • That was the best "pound shop", a great selection of products, sadly it and the chain went to the wall as they say. 
    • I used to enjoy the 50p shop in Liverpool, it merged with it's sister pound shop in 1999 https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/newsliverpool/lost-liverpool-shop-never-charged-more-than-50p-for-anything/ar-AA1rB1Z6 According to BoE inflation calculator it would be the £1.60 shop if still around now, although based on the increase in a pint of beer more like the £4 shop, or the reliable mars bar inflation indicator about £3. That of course is the issue with the premise that everything will remain at a certain price.  There were three pound stores in Peckham, one had a strange strap line that many products were a pound or less, so many were over a quid (pre Covid days).
