Those are Full Thrifty URLs are affiliate links. Are they allowed on this Forum. Should the affiliate relationship not be declared by the poster?

I am not affiliated with Fully Thrifty or other coupon website.

There are many coupon sites offering voucher codes for Living DNA such as
https://www.vouchercodes.co.uk/livingdna.com
https://www.voucheroffers.co.uk/living-dna-voucher-code/livingdna.com
https://www.dealcatcher.com/living-dna-coupons
https://fullythrifty.com/at/livingdna.com

I don't know if its allowed or not to post links here, if no then simply delete my posts. That's ok, i just want to share  ;)

I wouldn't be surprised if one of the mods or RC's owners removed any links to the commission sites, they often have done in the past.

If you click on the Thrifty website these words are included in the URL:

source=affiliates&utm_medium=171741&utm_campaign=AffiliateWindow

The website is clearly making a commission from kits ordered through this site.

thank you Devon, but I think most of those coupon sites are making money from it, not only Frully Thrifty,

I have just received my results which were due on 6th October.  The results are generally in line with my research which shows mainly Ireland and Scotland,  with Yorkshire, Lancashire, Cornwall and Norfolk as smaller percentages.  However, they missed out Yorkshire and Norfolk altogether.   The Irish percentage was only 2.4% which i thought was on the low side.

Sandgrounder, this is apparently the reason for the low Irish percentage:

Taken the LivingDNA site
"If you have Irish ancestry but it is not inferred as strongly as expected: Unfortunately, due to the current limited number of Irish samples, we currently see many Irish people as a mixture of Ireland, Northern Ireland and South West Scotland, and North West Scotland"

Sutcliffe - Yorkshire & London
Harrington - Ireland and London
Fuller - Cambridgeshire and Essex
Waldron/Waldren - Devon & London
Frisby and Lee - Leicestershire
Hollingsworth - Essex
Williams - Ireland? and London
Ellis, Reed & Temple - London
Lane - ?
Surplice/Surplus - Cambridgeshire
