    Hang on, are you female? I think someone mentioned previously that they only get blokes to do these jobs?

    That's true with Gfk, but I thought RE was 'unisex'... ;)

    Aah that could be it! Thanks.

    Shame, I've quite fancied having a little flutter since reading about it on here, but have never managed to grab one on Gap, and never seen one anywhere else! Oh well...

    I've just read the assignment notes - the first requirement is: "
    In order to complete this assignment you must be a regular betting shop customer (more than 5
    visits per year)."

    So, you will have to say you are an experienced visitor...
  • What does everyone else buy when they do a Stamp shop job? Was thinking about savings stamps as it seems they can be put towards car tax which may be rather useful ? :confused:

    you are not allowed to buy these on the stamp shops

    it states so in the brief.

    can get ordinary stamps though
  • That's what I thought I had heard before but I can't see anything about that on the assignment details. Does it only say it after you have accepted the job?

    woohoo different briefs for that client say different things. If it doesn't say you can't on that job then you can buy savings stamps - I'm saving for my car tax too. I've also seen jobs where you can't buy them, then I post a couple of my amazon/ebay parcels, or buy some stamps.
