Mine just remembers it (and the pw) when I type the first letter of the email address in-it's simple to set up for either Explorer or Firefox

Thank you for replying, I hope you're right as I need to release one or two possibly and I don't want to be penalised for it. It's frustrating because I try and accept jobs quickly if they're in my area because I know it's all about FFF and am worried that someone will get there before me but then I read the briefing notes properly or see the dates and times and realise that perhaps it's not particularly practical and need to release it!

Is there a way that you can / re supposed to release jobs on RE? - got one that I am now unable to complete and only option I can see is to state that I was unable to complete because I visited outside of opening times.

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.

I did these visits the last wave in the posh part of London with a few hotels posh jewellers. Just show the letter to them, the doormen who will look confused but will let you in. Well that’s what I ended up doing. Good luck with it, as from what I remember only about 4 out of the 20 plus I did had the sign…lots of work but a decent (relative to RE) fee.

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!

The thing is, the typical betting shop customer is a man, so if they want a typical opinion, that would be why they're asking for a man. In all the time I've been to their shops, I only remember seeing one woman in there (apart from staff). And she has come in to ask if anyone had seen her husband as he was supposed to be fixing the car but had gone AWOL. :rotfl:She told the man behind the counter that if he came in, he wasn't allowed to bet and had to be sent straight home!

just rung RE and they are open, but they are not very flexible with the station jobs dates, or maybe it was just the person I spoke to

How can they not be flexible when the majority of the dates were for yesterday?:rotfl:

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:

You need Roboform;) (it's a program that saves your details so you can log-in with just one click). I couldn't manage without it.

Thanks. Yeah, I quite like them, did one yesterday in Birmingham. Last one I did before that was in Merton, so there weren't quite so many posh hotels and jewellers... :rotfl:
