That message on RE about the voucher for 40% off booze has vanished! I didn't realise there was a time limit on it, so hadn't bothered to print it yet. Does anyone still have access?

It's availble on MSE as well: http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/deals/discount-voucher-codes#threshers

Only valid until 13 April though...

OMG - has anyone done a torso shop on RE!!

Every question has a comments box with about 150 characters needed to complete it.

one question was - ' were you offered a loyalty card' my answer was no and i had to write the same sentance three times in different ways to get it to fill the box!!

'i was not offered a card. the card was not mentioned at all. the assistant did not ask about the card'

bloody hell!!!:rotfl:

I love the reports where they say:

QUESTION: Did they ask you for your contact details? If not, why not?

Are you meant to be a mind reader at this stage? I didn't realise it was a prerequisite for MSing.

Answer: Why the bl**dy hell do you think? They can't be ar*ed! They're bored and want to get off the phone and go home.

I am finding the silly questions from RE a bit trying. They were asking me, as a proof reading question, yesterday to say more about a display of cookie boxes, and were they eye catching? I mean what do they want me to say? There was a small collection of cookie boxes there, they did not jump out at me, but what can the poor staff do to make them look more, or indeed less, eye catching? I said in the end that they were neatly displayed.

And another company have just said that I did not do a shop correctly, when they sent me to a market stall (which was not where they said it was), which sold phone accessories, to shop for a brand new top of the range phone. They said that even though they did not sell phones, I should have asked for a recommendation. Sigh. Feeling cheesed off today.

Thanks for that. I didn't realise it ended so soon, doubt I'll be able to get there tomorrow.

Probably giving myself away here but I emailed the co-ordinators at RE twice - anonymously - CCing that generic email telling them their question layout are unjustified and unfair for both the actual scenario and the fee. Never did get a response.

I would recommend doing this at some random time just to highlight the issue to them.

Right Nads your new nom de plume is Scouserit. I will come up with something better later.

General RE query here. I am off out against my better judgement to do a chain pub with a drink from List A and one from drink B. And a sunday roast. Hubbie is coming with me as it is a gorgeous day. Now on previous visits they asked questions about OH's meal. Was it hot, served correctly etc. I said I wasn't prepared to comment as THEY miserable gits were not paying for 2 meals just 1. What do the rest of you do. OH says unless they pay for his meal he ain't commenting.

And why 2 lists of drinks anyway. What does that tell them. One has tea one has cofee, one hfas wine and the other lager etc etc.
