Me? No. There was nothing whatsoever to photograph!

Ooh, you've just reminded me that I forgot to. It said in the email but not in the briefing notes, so went clean out of my mind. I guess I could just photograph the ones I bought, maybe.

Yes youre dead right and I think I must apologise as I posted something first......

Have had another email from them however offering me stores I asked for yesterday but did not get a reply about.... !

Have done some of my Bare car circuit jobs today and have decided I dont really hate doing them so much after all !

Hope everyone has had a good day mS or otherwise.

I managed to get four of the drink jobs, and had a fridge full of them last night - captured 12 of the blighters!! Managed to drink a few and gave some to the neighbours - no problems so far!!!

Had a busy day today - done 8 Bare car showrooms and an ABAi petrol job - only had 2 problems - one of them ceased being a dealer for one of the makes I was supposed to get a quote for, last year! and another one said they've discontinued the model I was after - so they quoted me for a similar one... It must be easier 2nd time around, as the last lot I did took 2 days! I still can't get my head round spending over £30k on a car...:eek:

Got a couple of tourist attractions to do tomorrow and a supermarket...

I'm going to have a rest on Monday!

I feel reassured. The store I visited today had none.

I've been reading about these amazing exploding drinks for a few hours now and the curiosity has gotten the better of me.....:cool: I won't ask too much except to wonder which company is offering the job and why am I not being offered the chance to recreate Pompeii in my kitchen!! I live down South if that is any clue...

Knackered now got 18 of *those* jobs, ended up well lets say I've got lots of products... all of the same flavour! I only got a few photos of them mainly cos well I forgot or it would have been too blatant to take a photo.

My other post has disappeared so I'll post again. I've got 2 particular aba-i petrol jobs where I have to visit a competitor and the client. Except the second petrol job is exactly the same but the other way around! Hope that made sense! NOt sure what to do, visit twice or buy the petrol in both locations?

It did say take a covert photo if possible, but it's difficult when the displays are all near the customer services desk, and there are staff about...

Mine are all the same flavour too...

If I remember correctly, ABA-i are happy for you to visit the duplicated site(s) just the once...

Hi Nads
It does say in the brief that fuel cannot be bought at the rival garage. If the rival garage is in the same chain they will be able to tell from your receipt details that you bought fuel. Personally I'd visit each garage only once. I'd get fuel and something - maybe a drink and pay. Go to the loo, or back to the car, then buy something else, maybe a chocolate bar. That way you have two receipts from each garage with only what you are allowed to buy on each one. Hope that helps.

I got 15 of those jobs and did not take in store foto`s as they were so close to the security guards. I took foto`s when I got home of the whole lot! And a close up of the lids. Mine were all same flavour too but cost me £21.00 in one shop alone!! as I found a load pushed to the back.
