  • Why not just phone up, find out what the opportunity is and then report back here for comments. Otherwise it's just conjecture.

  • That's what I was going to do however I spoke to DH last night and he said he wouldn't touch something like that with a barge pole and to steer clear.

    I just wondered if anyone had any experience of them before I did ring them.

    Thanks for your replies everyone, you've been helpful.

    But how do you know what something like that is.....????

    By all means be skeptical, its healthy, but after you have found out the facts.

  • I bit the bullet! Just phoned them and a recorded message came on telling me to leave my name, address and telephone number. All relevant information and details would then be forwarded to me. The message goes on to say to spell all difficult names, and to let them know where you saw the advert. Obviously, I didn't offer my name and address. I then put the phone down, and am still alive to tell this tale! ;)
    We could all learn a little something from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

    What i dont understand is that its a domicilary care business, (not a medical clinic) looking after people in their homes, i presume what the old 'home help' used to do. What on earth would they be wanting home workers to do.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
