Oh no thats not good!!! Has anyone else found this??

I personally have had a good experience with RE and always found them very pleasant and helpful on the phone

Annasbee - your experience doesn't sound good though!

I have had my trials with them but always got through on the phone after 11 and they usually answer my emails too. Just spoke to someone there and she was very helpful.

Surprised nobody else has replied to you yet... I don't think anybody associated you with the troll, there's no way you could have any say over what they post after all. I admit I was surprised too by the way people reacted, but I think it's entirely understandable still.

Been so stupid this morning. OH was MSing a gap small supermarket/corner shop. They had a sign on the door to say the card machine was broken so he paid cash. He got back to the car, and realised he didn't have the receipt. He nipped back in to ask but because they had already served someone else it was too late for him to have receipt. So I went in, spent another £5 on expensive groceries - and I forgot to get a receipt too... so used to paying by debit card on MS and therefore getting a receipt automatically. Dohhh!!

Could we maybe get back to talking about MSing now rather than arguements that half of us don't even know nor care about? It's gone totally off topic with a few trying to keep it on track.

I quite agree I didn't associate you with the post at all. I know one of the people who has since left the forum was planning to anyway and that post was just the final straw.

Yeah I don't think the whole chain has closed down, just maybe some of the concessions in some of the stores. Well at least if it was already on the cards, I don't feel too bad now!

Haven't picked up any new shops in a while... was hoping to pick up a few late ones to boost me up to my £150 target for the month but I don't know if I'll make it now... I'm not far off but I have my doubts!

We'll see... How is everyone else finding it?

Thanks for all your help guys! Heading off to do my first MS soon.. just one thing though, any ideas on the best way to record the time to the second while being discreet?

Thanks again!

But it isn't for personal use-it's for commericial gain -ie you're using the info for financial benefit so a court COULD take the view it's business not personal. A stretch maybe but not one I'd like to risk considered the small earnings involved.

Sorry, when I said for personal use, I meant for your own use, i.e that you'd not disclose it to a third party.

It is fine, seriously!!
