At the moment I have a huge OS map on my wall that I stick pins into where customers are and I was wondering whether there is something like Google Maps where you can drop [b]multiple[/b] pins in it and do it all on my PC.
Google Earth has that function I believe.
Yup google earth easy to use. just make sure you move your temporary places (The pins) to My places so the pins will be there when you open it next time.

Google Maps can do it too, assuming you have a google account.
Enter maps.google.co.uk
Login (link at top right)
Click on "My Maps"
Click on "Create new map"
Choose public or unlisted
On the map itself are a couple of icons for adding marks or routes
When you're done, click on "Done".
Edit: the data for this is stored online, not sure about Google Earth - this may or may not be a problem, or an advantage.
You can do it on Google Maps, or do you specifically need OS maps?
Thanks everyone, Google maps is great
You'll find bluetak easier if you still have a CRT monitor.
streetmap.co.uk?
Won't all the colour leak out of your monitor if you stick pins into it?
I've always used an old copy of MS autoroute for doing this for using for work - which allows you to import from csv a list of postcodes.
It's good but would far rather have it on google maps/earth. Does anyone know if there is an import facility for a list of postcodes to create pins...?
