I've applied for one of these but there are another 2 I could do, but they are within large supermarkets.. How do you take a photo of the exterior of the shop when its within a shop.. so i've passed on those one's.. looking like a mad tourist in a high street I can do, but don't fancy being wrestled to the ground by a big burly security guard... on the other hand.....!!!!:rotfl:

Good point about the ones in the supermarket - something else to be wary of - I have seen two in some major London train stations. Anyone who takes these should be VERY careful about taking photos in these stations as the transport police take a very dim view of this!

It's bad enough trying to coax a smile out of a tube of pringles covertly never mind being accused of being a terrorist! Think I'd definitely give these ones a miss, or explain my views to the MS company beforehand...

Transport police would be the least of my worries....you try taking photo's in a country thats spent the last 30 years blowing up shopping centres....:rotfl: I take any photo's I need as if I'm a bit blind and sending a text :cool:

abai release cat jobs in first week of month

RE upload fairly often between 1 am and 3 am. By the civilised time of 7 am an awful lot has gone!!

Why don't you tell them how you feel? You might get a response from them that could shed some light for all of us regarding how on earth they allocate their jobs.

I thought it was common knowledge that ESA's staff themselves conduct most of the visits, leaving the rest to those that are signed up with them as shoppers??
