I agree totally,, cancelled my other 2, not worth the petrol... Mmm tried google, google earth an street last night, no luck.. typical... i ended up putting what i though it was ??? bit dodgy as i'm only 60% sure oh well they will soon get back to me... maybe not the right attitude but i just had enough yesterday....fresh start today....happy shopping :j

I did 5 of the holiday shops yesterday and my bloomin head is pounding this morning....I can tell you every resort, hotel, flight times, insurance and car parking charges for the month of June! have got 3 more booked for later in the week and I am beginning to think I can only show so much interest. Why are the reps so bloomin cheerful?

I don't seem to be able to see any of the RE jobs that have been on the ALERTS thread recently (i.e. restaurants, pubs, sandwich shops, hotels, pasties... to name but a few!). In fact, I think my available jobs have been stuck on the same (very low) number for a few days now, thinking about it! Can anyone else not see them, or do I need to be ringing RE techie people?! Ta

Same here. I have called them numerous times about this and they are clueless!

I don't know if this could be relevant ....

I got booted off these jobs a while back and asked for an explanation. Surprisingly, I got one: apparently I don't have "the right profile" for these jobs. I was told that the client had become selective and I did not "fit". Even though I asked what bit of me didn't fit, there was no other info forthcoming!

Maybe I'm too old or something then... not really that fussed, I just thought it could be handy for those days where I have a full day out of town: may as well try to get a free meal in too! I *think* when I first registered I could see some training... but maybe not? Ah well... will wait and see if anyone ever gets back to me from GAP.

Holly - after reading your guide the first thing I did when I drove past the shop was check what was left and right of it! :rotfl:

It was on a one way street so I drove past twice to 'find a parking space' then when I got one, used the Notes function on my phone to write it down. I then sauntered past the shop 'on the way to the bank' and checked out the exterior which I noted on my phone whilst 'sending a text'. I browsed the window whilst 'chatting to OH on the phone' and walked in mumbling about 'looking for holidays and I'd let him know'!

I rememebered to put phone on silent though just in case someone phoned while I was pretending to talk!

If it wasn't for the guide I proably wouldn't have thought to use my phone for notes so :beer:

Perhaps they haven't uploaded your area yet? I would keep checking for the rest of the night and if its still a low number in the morning I'd give them a ring.

Went to bed shortly after you posted but still same number now. I have a couple of RE reports to finish today (forgot to take the photos yesterday DOH, so will have to pop out during my lunch break ) - so I think I may wait till I've done them before ringing.

I have quite a few areas added (all "up North" though) so I'd have thought at least one would have been uploaded?! Who knows!

I'm in the North West & can only see 2 assignments on RE - both takeaways with the same company. the sandwich shop was gone now

I'm "down South" and didn't see any of the uploads last night or this morning. Shame cuz there's a lot of pasties down here!

Did anyone have any decent wins by the way? I won £3 on one and £4.06 on another... Ah well every little helps :cool:

I have used all my bets to bet against my team (they were sitting very close to the bottom of the table). Funny thing is, after I started using the RE bets to bet on the team they are playing they have gone on a remarkable unbeaten run!
