Spare a thought for Hollypear, who's just had her holiday flights cancelled, as they were with the company that have just gone bust!

Sounds like she is having a rough time, I hope she is alright and please pass on my best wishes too.

I did one of these as a delivery a couple of weeks ago, seeing as they begged me to do so.
I took the job notes to say you have to order a med pizza with either deep or thin base, or you can order a stuffed crust which only come in a large size, but it is at your own expense the extra £1.50 or so it costs.
As for the normal pizzas, as I say I took it to read med only.
Been out most of the afternoon, hence the late reply.

Thanks! I re-read the notes and decided it must mean medium deep pan or italian. Strange you can't have large though - never mind. We'll just have to share the medium now Looking forward to it now.......

I got that email from BARE too. Upset now, I thought I was special!!! I'm probably one of the few who actually hasn't done any work for them!

Just testing the smileys :j

Am well peeved with this site (not you lot, I hasten to add!) - I emailed the 'technical problems' thing at the top of the page - thought I was doing them a favour in alerting them to this smiley problem but the bu@@ers just sent me an automated email back saying look at the FAQs! :mad:


Smileys still not working - there should be two in this message.

Me too - I've not done any work for them either. It was nice to be made to feel special at 5pm this evening though. I'm a travel agent specialising in European rail tickets - so 90% of our customers use Eurostar - so not a good day at work really....
Poor Hollypear - send my best wishes too please.

That's the last thing she needed - today especially, as she's been to her step-brothers funeral this morning.
Her computer is also kaput, so she won't have access to anything for a while.
Fingers crossed she gets another flight sorted by next weekend!
I'll speak to her again later, to find out if she's managed to sort anything out yet.

Hi Brryssn,
Please pass on my best to Hollypear. I'm in the same boat - was due to fly next week and all lost (although we booked thro ATOL agent so will receive refund eventually). Thankfully we've managed to find cheap flights to somewhere else (booked on a CC for extra protection) and are going to travel round and crash in cheap hotels when we get here.
All that and managed to do 4 MSs today as well as finally (after 9 months of trying) getting my first allocation from Bare. :j

I've let Hollypear know she's in your thoughts! She's managed to book another flight thankfully, so no doubt she will fill you all in when she's back online!

I too got the email from Bare, & replied saying I've actually done several jobs for them, including flights, where I had to wait well over two months for reimbursement. Not knowing for weeks whether you've been allocated a job is frustrating too - it's difficult to then plan other work. It'll be interesting to see if they reply to any of our responses to their email!!

I also got the one from gap about the burger & petrol jobs, and another one from them saying I was in their top 40 shoppers for the coffee jobs I do for them - along with hundreds of others no doubt - and if I do so many more in the next few weeks blah blah, I can have petrol jobs as a reward!

What a shame I don't drive!!!!

learning_to_drive

I never got one about Bare, gutted.

Still reeling from AA, what a set of arrogant t***s!

Anyway, gap! I dont do many jobs these days...

ThinkingOfLinking

AA are very rude and arrogant.

RE are still the best I have worked with.
