After much practice I have perfected my technique;) It involves half filling the bowl then arranging the apple slices vertically around the edge. It more than doubles the size of the bowl.

The tricky bit is getting back without dropping any or being distracted by people stopping to watch the salad tower passing their table:D

My daughter usually comes with me and there are things she doesn`t like so I try and seperate the items with slices of cucumber or apple! Dishing up is an art in itself! We `lost` a potato under the table on the last outing.

Has anyone seen a new job on RE.

I am now shown as Active but the two jobs I have completed have not gone off my active list. I have jobs today and tomorrow but wont bother if they are going to mess me around.

Cheers Paul

Hi, I have 2 jobs booked for today. I cannot view assignment notes, change date or accept jobs! The contact us won`t work and I am completely p***** off! Have sent a couple of emails....no reply and one of the jobs I need to rearrange urgently. Oh well! I have got to the point where I give up!

Hi Squeaky1055,
I think that we're all suffering from the same probs, I can get in now:eek::eek: but shows 2 jobs avail but can't access them :mad::mad::mad::mad: shows I've a message outstanding BUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've given up @ the moment as I'm lucky enough not to have any jobs with them.
Email doesn't seem to be getting any response from them:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
Think we'll all need to start praying @ kitchpoo Church of MSE

Paul I wouldn't bother. Personally I think they are not worth the bother but if you like them fair enough.

I just feel how come all the other companies can manage to assign jobs, get their reports and pass the results to the clients, they get paid and we get paid.

Now I bet clients such as banks on GR and GfK are just as demanding as RE's clients. So WHY all the faffing about taking stupid pics of a cafe panini shop endless ridiculous questions.

My point is GR, Gfk, Tern, PIP, etc manage without a daft pic so it must be RE and not their clients.

I do work a lot for Tern and though we can't discuss fees one of the jobs I do regularly I have booked for today ( can't get ther now as the trains at this area are off cos of the snow). I downloaded the guidelines and casually glanced at them in case anything had changed and was gobsmacked to see the fee had increased by more than the amount RE pay for an entire job. RE would never have done that.

I laugh at the boast on RE's front page. We had 450,000 shoppers. No they don't. I told them to take me off their database. Did they. No. So a lot of those 450,000 will be like me who have decided to give them a miss.

That is so funny fabsaver. I am doing one of those tonight I must try that.

Re the pizza though Meanmaboy joined up yesterday and had the pizza buffet. The server clearly said we could have as much pizza as we liked but no sald as it wasn't included. I cannot get the questionnaire to complete as it keeps asking about salad and there is no option for THIS MEAL DOES NOT INCLUDE FLAMING SALAD.

Course now I have got an email saying my results have not been done. Yet I emailed them last night about it. Aaarghhhh.

I only emigrated to Middlesbrough a little over 5 years ago, I'm originally from the United States. Is Parkside the one they knocked down that was near the old football ground?

Creaker did you do MS'ing in the States. I googled MS'ing ages ago and came across a forum which I joined. After I few days I realised they were all US but they made me really welcome and I found all their problems were similar to ours. ie fee's going down, petrol costs going up etc.

I see a couple of jobs I would be interested in on RE but I can't access the notes or apply for the assignment....aaarrrrgggghhhh !!!!
