    Morning all,

    I have a query i have a MS booked in with ISC next week, and after reading the briefing notes last night i found that they are asking me to take a photo of the place, which is fine as i have done this before, but this place is a concession inside a department store...with security guards etc....
    I had sent them an email and they had said that they have done loads of these recently and it was never a problem?????? and just to try and hide in another concession.....

    Is it the glass shop? I shouldn't think it'll be a problem if you're discreet...

    Live dangerously, if you get arested we'll all chip in and bail you out ;-)

    You could always cancel if you don't feel comfortable doing it, or go ahead and do it, if you get pulled over make sure you have some kind of notes/letter with ISC info on it.

    I usually turn the camera sound off on my phone and make it look like I am trying to get a signal to send a text. You know the way, holding the phone at all angles over your head, standing on a box, doing a cartwheel, swearing loudly about poor signal etc..... I've only been asked to leave a couple of times so now i make sure I do the assignment first, saves some trouble...... :)
