Found several by Googling "pen camera USB" but they seem to be video cameras, not still.

All this fighting with our Glaswegian friends reminds me of a spoof sketch by the Glaswegian born comic, Stanley Baxter, called Parlimo Glasgow in which he translated Glaswegian into English. One of the interpretations was something like this: " Good Day sir. How are you?" to which came the reply: "Geh f*?k yersellff yaa blooody Sasanach." Interpretation in the Queen's English: "Go fornicate with yourself you bloody Englishman (Saxon)."

So genteel.......

Started a job thursday - dropped my camera and it broke spectacularly - had to cancel two jobs as needed a few photos for them. New camera today- fully charged batteries, but they ran out when I was half way through - used my mobile but that has no external memory so filled up fast. Drove home, got more batteries came back and finished. Then half way home realised forgot to photograph store front. argh!!! This quick job took SOOO long!

Has anyone ever completed one of the assignments for Bare that require you to visit a certain store, play games and paint things? I did one today - it was great fun. So much so that it took me an hour to complete!

I was just talking to my Mum she retired from M&S a few years ago but met a friend who still works there in the cafe. Mum said it was unusual when she went in as the staff were more chatty than usual and smiling so she asked her friend what was going on...her friend said they'd had a MS visit and failed for being miserable so now they were doing everything but curtsey :rotfl:

Had a lucrative couple of days so I am giving myself tomorrow off I am doing as little as possible and I am currently wrapping myself around several vodkas...you have been warned :cool:

I worked for M & S until very very recently. Due to the financial crisis, we did not get the usual bonus last year. We were told in no uncertain terms that it would be on the line next year (now this year) if we did not perform well in mystery shops. I believe we had to finish the year on an "exceed" percentage to get the bonus, MS is taken very, very seriously by management who will pick apart each little part of the report to all staff at the morning meetings.

Which company does M&S mystery visits? I've tried to find this out for years! Our local M&S could certainly do with a few mystery visits.

I've never been offered an M&S visit, but a quick google came up with the answer. I believe it's a 'large shopping' company. I'm not very good at this cryptic stuff, but it's one of the later companies on the first page. They're quite open about it, and have a testimonial from M&S on their front page that you don't need to be logged in to see.
