    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!!!

    Hope you have a fabby weekend, Im just back from jobs at the airport, made me jealous seeing every1 checking in!!!!

    There are Museums – Tourist Offices on ESA. Has anyone worked for them? The number of questions needs answering (122) put off applying. I assumed you need to provide a comment on each of them! :confused::mad:

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

    Well there's a double bonus. Correct form filling, PLUS, a new phone.

    The jobs will come flooding in now.

    Whilst I didn't need your list ukmonkey I'm sure lots of others did.

    Good point. I don't need it myself but as you say others may well do.

    Top marks to ukmonkey for his work on that and for the work that has gone into the front page of the thread. Very time consuming to do but a big help to those who come looking for help.

    Does anyone know how to get a hold of GfK. They use to put the phone number on the briefing notes but now it's only the email address. Are we not allowed to phone them anymore?

    EDIT: Got the number. Thanks Scaredy and Loolabell

    Think I'll give the Bank jobs on TNS a miss - Less than £20 for 90 minutes - no thanks

    My thoughts exactly.

    To make it even worse it's 90 minutes with a financial adviser.

    I got the dentist on the Monday and the pile doctor on the Wednesday, I think both will be more intersting and entertaining.
