I've got a season ticket for Middlesbrough FC, so go up to Teesside about once a fortnight and have to confess to doing the odd job up there - sorry for nicking jobs not on my home patch, SC! I live in E. Mids, so anything that helps towards paying for the petrol to make a 240 :eek: mile round trip helps!

The Boro is just down the road!!!! So it's you who keeps nicking all the jobs then????? :rotfl:

As an aside I once went to a works night out at the Riverside... and I got the DJ to play You'll Never Walk Alone!!!! Mind you, I was well 'merry' at that point and had even roped a pal into doing the Tiger Feet dance with me!!!! :eek:

After all the posts I read about Bare being really slow to pay, I was pleasantly surprised to receive an email asking for my bank details about 5 weeks after I shopped (and Max is v helpful as well, as an aside - beat Gap hands down for customer service!). However, I also remember reading that other shoppers got charged for receiving payments in Euros to their current accounts; so I asked if payment via Paypal was available. It is, but with an approximate 9% fee. What do others do...?

Thanks

Arbie

Er... could be. Mind you, bear in mind I can only do one day a fortnight and on a set day, it is fairly limiting, but did have 2 last Sat and have got one for 1 Nov at the stamp shop in M'bro.

There are a couple of drinks ones on TNS for M'bro at the mo, on days I can't do, a pizza on Gap, a gambling place in Stockton on RE (spending limit £50!!) and various other pubs on RE in the area too all still up for grabs, so I've left you a fair few to go at, methinks

I was only kidding, Josie! To be honest, I don't like Middlesbrough town centre at all so I very rarely go there anyway - and never on a Saturday!!!

I've seen the drinks ones on TNS but I've been told the places are a bit rough, and to be honest I'm too old for that lark now - don't tend to go out to bars that much these days! :rotfl:

As for the gambling place on RE - is it still there because I can't see it? I suspect I'm not good enough because I've not done any jobs for RE, and I have a sneaking suspicion I don't get to see the good jobs.

Seriously, nice to meet a fellow red! I am busily fuming here because the match tomorrow is on Sky sports - not fair, they show you-know-who on terrestrial so anyone can watch, but we get stuck on Sky, which I don't have. Not fair! :mad:

Hi I've just applied to Retail Active, but this worries me...

"To be a Retail Active Brand Assessor you must have extensive experience of the business sector that you wish to work in." I dont have any experience in retail, hotel, cruises, banking etc...

matthewluck

oh, its okay. I did apply to be a mystery shopper but then I was browsing the site and stumbled across the information on becoming an assessor.
I hope I get accepted :j
