RE have a section for carrying out business calls. It says you need a business email address. Is it worth paying for an email address to get these jobs?
Thanks.
Matt

I wouldn't have said so, no.

Thanks for making me read your reply 4 times, before I realised it is written in alcohol language!
Cheers.

They pay quite promptly. ISC was paid on 16th April for a job I did on the 3rd. :j and BBP paid mid-March for February jobs.

Hi is anyone here familiar with Portrack Lane in Stockton? If so please could you PM me. Have my only job all week tomorrow, and I'm uncertain if the store is still trading! Not a huge hassle to go and find that it is shut, but a couple of quids petrol to find that its shut. I saw this job come up on the last round with GAP and it was taken pretty quick, so maybe someone even did it a couple of months ago and knows if it is there or not. I tried calling their phone number and I got the disconnected tone, which only serves to make me more unsure that its there. Thanks

Just done one of those TNS supermarkets. I had to specifically ask for my receipt in the cafe. Not too bad, really.

However, in the garage, I bought a bar of chocolate for 55p... the girl just threw the receipt into a big box along with loads of others - and I had to ask for it back!!!! Talk about giving the game away!
