    does everyone just keep all their paperwork for 6 months? trying to have a clear out as have so much! have a small folder with all receipts and parking tickets so will keep that but thinking of chucking briefs, brochures, business cards etc... away! thanks

    I think the tax man can request back 6 or 7 years so I have all mine stashed in boxes in loft.All in date order and with receipts. Copies of year end tax and bank statements as well.

    Not been asked over the 15 odd years but you never know!

    lol its funny when that happens.

    We had a pub meal today (yuk) and the reheaters came out to talk to a mos then 5 mins later the other reheater came out, and as we left the door was very nearly opened and a cheery goodbye was said rather loudly! I was convinced we wouldn't get sussed but maybe we were lol!

    We had a pub meal today and as you said, YUK!!!
    I have been to a lot nicer. The staff were friendly enough, when they weren't talking amongst themselves. Non were in uniform and no name badges. The receipt I asked for ended up as a total fiasco as I was given someone else's. Did we get sussed? I don't think so as the staff were too into themselves :rotfl:

    My friend works for the Inland Revenue and she said that they can request info going back 6 years.

    :(The talk on here for the last xyz amount of weeks has been all about EGGS (not even Easter Ones
    Let me guess now we're going to change the subject to CRISPS :(:(:(:(

    Its quite obvious that no one wants to be caught divulging the details on a public forum about these jobs, so it looks like asking is a waste of time & clutters up the forum for the non askers :)

    I know I wasn't quoted above but I did ask.

    I have joined up to most of the companies on the front page but couldn't see any crisp jobs on them that was why I asked.

    Sorry if it pished everyone off :o

    Tell me about it. I once got 49 PM me too requests. I PM'd every one of them back. They all sent their email addies so I had to sit and hand write them all to email them back. Took me 2 days and up till about 4 am doing them.

    I didn't begrudge it as they were all grateful. But phew.. never again.

    Glamazon,
    I think joining the Companies is the painless bit,:p but you will see from the forum,that although you & I maybe with the same company (using this as an example),we would probably never get offered the same type of jobs & if you queried it it comes down to 'individual demographic profiles' thats what they say anyway.
    So there is the possibilty of joining the 'CRISP' company & never getting a look at it.
    I have found that out over the years, most of us work for the same companies are similiar ages & even in the same areas, but NEVER get the same job selections.
    Hope that helps :)
