@Spikeg33 - Be aware that Recorded Delivery only covers you for upto 100x the cost of a first class stamp compensation. That's about £38ish atm isn't it? recorded is no different to normal first class except that a signature is taken when it's delivered.

So I'd say over £40 then send Special Delivery.

The problem I can see with this is that they may recognise you on the second visit in the same week (likely unless a olarge Branch) and then may treat you differently so may not get a fair assessment for the second scenario.:)

You need to get a Hi Vis jacket for the second visit and pretend you are a surveyor/structural engineer type.That will do the trick.:j

I actually work in engineering - hi-vis, steel toe caps......that's my normal garb.

Like the idea of getting all glammed up for the second visit, to see if they recognise me!

Well, a bit of a shock to my system. Looking at my briefings and two of my egg shops for Friday dont involve buying eggs!! :eek:
We're going to need a new name for them.

I discovered, accidentally, that if you close the webpage while you're doing the test or reviewing your test responses, you can go back to the start without the previous attempt registering as one of your allowed attempts.

I had actually got a pass (92%) on my first attempt, but lost my internet connection while I was at the stage of reviewing my results. I had to reboot the computer (a quirk on my system). So I had to start again. I passed again on my second attempt (but it was still showing as my first), but I didn't submit, just reviewed results and closed the webpage. When I went in and took the test again (passed again!), I submitted and it showed as a pass on a first attempt. There was no sign that I had taken the test three times. I thought this might help anyone who has clicked through too quickly.

I get stuck when it comes to the pdf pop up, have emailed Max but had no reply, I can't use my other halfs pc as it is a work one and is encrypted. So am a bit stuck. I've tried tweaking my security settings but to no avail.

I have just received an email from TNS telling me that I have been sacked. This is due to my account being inactive for such a long time. I am honestly not bothered. Their pay is rediculously low for the amount of work you have to do.

On another note, has anyone ever done any work for RQA Europe?

i have only done the supermarket jobs and have found the 'quick' stores to be very well paid for the small amount of work involved. won't ever be doing a full size store again though as agree the pay is ridiculously low for the amount of time and effort required!
