    yes, that was the store! Great news - wish I had squeezed that extra £1.50 out of them now.... must admit was like some kind of farce with me banging on about the great qualities of the expensive product and him keep thrusting the cheaper one into my hand....

    Thanks Mum2six!

    I did a Torso Shop the other day and while I was browsing the manager was loudly telling her staff to 'look out for anyone spending about £10 as they're more than likely a mystery shopper!':rotfl::rotfl:

    Pretty sure this guy didn't spot me as he kept gazing over my shoulder at his pretty colleague who doing a make-up demo. He couldn't get rid of me quick enough.... felt a bit daft taking the photo of the shop afterwards. I hid in the telepone box across the road and stuck my camera out the door - it is a v. busy high street too. surprised I didn't fall foul of the anti-terror laws:eek:

    Last week I had a torso shop in a small shopping centre. Poor woman in the shop was on her own so was too busy to notice me taking the photo but the woman with the crafty stand right outside couldn't miss me-nor could the security guard for Boots next door-who took not a blind bit of notice LOL

    I'm actually more worried about a member of the public getting annoyed than the stores as in busy high streets you always seem to get someone in shot.

    I think that they should make it possible for you to decline all of those you are not interested in so that you don't have to scroll through the same 50 or 60 pub jobs every five minutes. Apart from anything else, it's making me really thirsty.....:rolleyes:

    which MS company? It would certainly be a learning experience but fee would need to be a little more than usual... do you need to try the box out for size, or, as they call it, "receive a demonstration"!?:A
