    But don't tell me... you had a really rough childhood, you brought up all your siblings from a very early age

    I like the new Gap search. It's easier than the random districts they used to use. My two nearest bookies were listed under Town A, when it's actually in Town B, and the bookies that is actually in Town A was listed under the street name. It's not a very long street either - just a pub, a restaurant and three shops.
    Here I go again on my own....

    Up til that comment, Bob, I LIKED you :rolleyes:

    I, for one, was not confused by post codes, but rather by Monkey's post telling us what post codes we need for our own areas. I already know the post codes in my area (and some of the surrounding areas as well, actually) but didn't understand why he had posted a list of post codes if there was no need to enter them in the site search.

    Because not everyone is as smart as you, and may not know what town/city their postcode area belongs to, as the poster who was posting at the same time as when i posted my list.

    Just because you understand it doesn't mean everyone does.

    I posted the list to help people, perhaps I should bother if people are just going to criticise :mad::mad::mad:

    Oh go and sit down boy and behave yourself - or would the naughty step be more appropriate?

    I found it useful - as I managed to have a stupid moment and try to search for my county rather than postcode. :rolleyes:

    Anyway - back to the mystery shopping people. I'm so bored of checking RE today, nothing on there at all that I can do and can only see 7 jobs in total!!

    Awww...I think there are a few cross wires on here today. Whilst I didn't need your list ukmonkey I'm sure lots of others did. I'd rather people post obvious things than not because as Bob can point out....there are lots of people that need to know.

    Incidently Bob, I've not had any tellings off yet so my form filling must be scraping through. Ha ha

    I've never seen a job on there...I'm still probationary because I've never done anything!!

    I'm not on Gap but I'm sure the list will help some people.
    Re RE - nothing much on at the moment at all! I bagged an airport job the other day and I asked if I could do the job on a Friday and fill in the report on the Tuesday - and no problem! So happy as it is a *cough* romantic trip so I don't fancy dragging my wife to an internet cafe with scanning facilities!!!
