    Yes, I had heard the men only thing too. This visit is partly to test staff knowledge on a new style wager (I won't go into too much detail). So I guess you go in and do the usual 'don't know which way is up' type of act and they have to sort you out. It is v. straightforward so if it were nearer then I would definitely give it a punt, lol.:rotfl:

    thanks Im in Kent so if you can see some in London (I cover that area too on the lookout for nice meals or hotels - as if :rolleyes:) hopefully some might trickle through in my direction.

    I always understood them to be 'men only' jobs, but in the last couple of days, my wife has had them appear on her list... :confused:


    Perhaps there weren't enough men taking them up? I know the same shops seem to hang around for ages sometimes.
    Happy New Year :beer:

    There is no real excuse for these being men only. I play a lot of poker and have been known to sports bet and I am a girl! :p

    Has anybody done a TNS 'audit' for the credit card company in central London before? I'm just looking at the locations for mine in the Edgware Road/Marble Arch area, and a few of them are nice hotels... not imagining the doormen being too impressed with my presence... Hmm.

    Me too, I happily go into bookies if I fancy a bet - and not just for the Grand National! Am thinking of doing a variation of the 'receipt asking' burger jobs - next time I go to a bookies I'll ask where the toilets are after I've placed a bet and watch their reaction ;).

    241 jobs on RE for me last night - how many could I do - zilch :confused:

    Is it just me ?
    I still can't email RE via the contact us section
    It keeps saying error on page

    Anyone know of an email address I could send the query to ?

    Thanks

    OK, so I've had just enough Merlot :beer: to try to start a short discussion on the MS thread. Please indulge me, people...


    Banky:A

    Can I add one on for RE: - keep username in log-in box when site out of action. The number of times I have to type in my email address to keep checking is beyond a joke :mad:
    Now proud Mumto3 :j
