That sounds like a tedious way to exchange your data for a free pint.

If I walked up to you in the street and said, "give me your name, address, dob and mobile phone number, and I'll buy you a pint," you'd probably report me to the popo - or land one on me. Just sayin.

Don't have Facebook, not bothered about Guiness. I had a fabulous pint of Oakham Ales Green Devil IPA before a curry on Saturday. Now that is worth some effort.

Indeed, amazing how freely people give this information away and then complain about PPI calls and the like.

Yeah, you don't actually give them any information though, apart from your Messenger or Twitter name, (which is obviously public anyway) and confirmation you're over 18, (so they don't get into bovver for supplying alcohol to minors) so there's that.

It would have been quicker to get the free pint than to type your polemics about how awful and intrusive it all was, and how all your personal data about everything would be compromised forever. But, this is the internet, where people prefer to be y.
