The one and only job I've done for Gfk was a phone shop, and the questionnaire was sooo ridiculous, even more so than RE's for similar jobs IMO.

I agree, but the bank one isn't too bad IMO. And they pay quicker than some of the others as well

Looks like some over-zealous mod with no sense of humour (or who doesn't know how to highlight text!) has removed it. Oh well!

Oh well it was funny whilst it lasted ! :rotfl:

Just had it confirmed that TNS *HAVE* lost the pizza contract. The guy who called me didn't know who they'd gone to now (please not Retail Eyes, please!).

A sad day in the MS world. lol.

I did one of these restaurants for Grass Roots last week .... not sure if it was similar to TNS as I have only recently started doing work for them but you could use the Orange 2 for 1 wednesday voucher and so we had a nice meal with a couple of drinks, main course and starter each for less than the reimbursement.

Sorry for being thick. I had a bad day yesterday I did an optical visit and they said my vision had deteriorated badly. I was almost expecting them to bring in a guide dog to get me home. ( Can they drive cars btw) Then did a building society. Only skimmed the notes as it looked exactly the same as last one I did. Same company etc to find when I went to do the results I should have had a mortgage so that was a waste of time and petrol.Anyway it is the company starting with International and I only get the odd job so I am not too bothered.

No need to apologise at all HP . Oh goodness you are really having a tough time lately arent you .... havent seen the guide dogs driving cars yet ... :rotfl:...but give it time . Sending some hugs your way . x

I'm another who likes the GFK bank jobs , the very first MS job I did was one of these . I think the fee is very fair too. GFK and Grass Roots are my fave companies to work for at the mo.

What I like about the GR restaurant jobs is that they pay a reimbursement of £xx.00 amount and if you want to use vouchers to lower your bill you can, but they still pay the full amount quoted.

I've never done a restaurant for GR

Mind you I've only ever seen the fish restaurant at Bluewater on there and I'm not a fishy person unless it's in batter from the chippy!!!
