thank you I now know that at 35 I am supposedly too old to shop in there! embarrassing as I think I am young and maybe I should not spend my money in there any longer and head to an older persons store lol

I recently couldn't get a visit with Gfk as I am too old! I don't feel/or look old and I feel that my habits are not necessarily that of an old person, but I guess I must be. I think they should have a lifestyle question which would make you eligible for a visit, but I guess they have enough "young" people on their books lol

Very quiet around here at the moment, I did 2 petrol jobs last week but that's been it since Jan! Anyone else also quiet?

On the subject of Aba-i, what's the best way of adding new clients to our existing list?

Oh, and by the way, I have never been allocated an egg shop job... Why is everyone on here so obsessed with them?









...maybe 'cos I've never applied for one... ;-)

The other 2 Abai clients are an invitation only clothes retailer and the survey panel.

Please can the opening post be amended to say 9, as this question seems to come up from time to time, so perhaps best not to say 11 as it just causes confusion.

:mad:

Just had an email to say only 4 of the 7 have uploaded incorrectly and they want assurances I'll be doing it this evening. Apparently you have to close the website page between uploads.

I've worked out my hourly rate on this job will be £2 this month.

I have my doubts it will get any better as the year goes on.

I use a stopwatch with laptimer on (if I remember to take it out with me) otherwise I use the laptimer on my mobile. Keep it in my pocket and click in there!!!

This will be something you'll miss with the iphone, as there aren't any buttons you do have to be looking at the screen to be able to know what you're pressing.

I tend to voice record shops. With the iphone the microphone on the headphones will pick up a conversation so I set it off recording before I enter the shop, a couple of coughs at certain points (end of the queue etc) and then I can listen back to the recording and get accurate times. Another benefit is having the ability to check back and listen to whether the MOS said thank you etc.

It's a bit iffy on the legal side, but from what I can gather it's not illegal to record a conversation that you are part of as long as you don't then pass the recording to a third party.
