Evening everyone!

I've just done my first RE job, an underground shop, and upon submitting my report it asked for a picture of the front of the store. On the assignment notes it said that you no longer need a picture so I rather naughtily took a screenshot from Google Streetview and added that. The other thing is it said you had to take a picture of the sandwich which I did but it did not ask for the picture of the sarnie.....has anyone else come across this?

It wasn't a good report either, the sandwich was good but the staff more than a little surly.

And sorry if this has been asked a trillion times before but does anyone have an idea how long it will take to come off probation? Is it just one job? There's another underground shop near me available but I can't accept it because of being on probation and only allowed one job at a time

Normally takes a couple of days after they've proof read your assignment and there aren't any queries on it.

Probation seems to vary considerably. Some it ony takes a few days, others years and personally, I had to wait about 6 weeks and then that was only after I emailed them. Suggest you give it a couple of weeks and if you are not changed to "Active" mail them. Hope this helps a little - Anna x

I did a Gap betting shop today and have just checked the result, the horse came third and the odd was 14/1, can someone tell me how much I will get for a £2 bet? TIA!

You will only win if you put the bet on each way, did you?

If you put on a win single as per the brief - nothing it lost. If you backed it £2 each way £7.60 return.

gap say for their betting shop assignments that you have to put a bet on TO WIN, so if you did that you'll win nowt! If you bet each way gap wont pay you but you'll probably win something!

I'm pretty sure I remember the notes saying that the store image should be the photo of the sandwich. I may be corrected, but I'm sure thats what they said last time I did one.

Its really quiet again tonight

Anybody picked anything up?

Two phone calls came up on RE. As I was answering the questions for the first job, someone else nabbed it. I went back and was answering the questions for the second job and someone nabbed that too. Not fair *stamps foot*

Quick question on Gap pizza buffet - probably been asked millions of times but I couldn't find the answer Is it ok to do it with one adult and three children? One of the children won't have a drink as she's a toddler and I'll take her sippy cup with me.
