    Can you take somebody with you on the bingo visits please? I have read the notes and can't see that it says you can't, but I wanted to check with somebody that has done one already.

    I took my housemate so you should be fine!

    I think Gap sack you if you're not accurate with your times. it's not hard for their clients to double check their times as I've seen the waiting times myself on the computers whilst waiting for food.


    There could be a multitude of sins for getting the sack from Gap but to be honest I dont think it should ever keep anyone awake at night. I got the push from them a few months ago and tbh it is only the stamp jobs I miss - and even they were not that great.

    From reading threads on the office, this is one of lifes great mysterys and just means in my case I have more time for decent MS companies who treat me as a human and let me phone them up if I have any queries/issues.

    I would be very cross though if they asked me to reapply then proceeded to sack me again.

    From Alert thread:





    Duplicate alert ... Squeaky beat you to it by 2 hours, Monkeyboy!!!!



    Couldn't've put it better myself.

    Oh, I wouldn't class them as a "department store" in the traditional sense (even though by definition, I guess they are one!), and we've always referred to them as a discount store (well, "discount desigber store" but that's too obvious). Oh well...

    Ok new problem. I have a pic on my phone but can't get it onto the computer. It's for a RE job...I'm going to email them about it but what do you think they'll say?

    I haven't logged into ABAi in a while and I can't for the life of my remember my username. I've filled out the lost password thing and know it's not a dodgy password I'm entering. Anyone any suggestions on what I should do?
