    The Sun? That's the market they're targeting? Good grief. Bet they didn't explain the bit where you have to register as self employed, fill in a tax return every year etc

    Not quite sure what you mean here - what's wrong with Sun readers? I am one and have managed to register as self employed and keep all relevant records? I thought being a MS meant that you go in with an open mind.......?
  • I think the GFK banks are hit and miss and depend on the size of the branch and number of staff. Visited a village bank and there was no one available to see me there and then. I was offered an appointment which I declined and left.

    Do you still get paid if that happens?

    Yes, as long as you report fully as to what happened. In my case, I queued to speak to someone at the counter who handed me a brochure and offered to make me an appointment to see someone.

    i am doing some re betting shops and have my first one sat. i have checked and there is a race at 3pm so i will obv have to go in before this.

    presumably i do not need to ensure i go in say 15 mins before race and wait til its over? would it be ok if i went at say 1pm and spent 15 mins looking round, using toilet, placing bet etc... and then leave? WHEN i win i can go back and collect? (no if about it lol :rotfl::beer: )
    never been before but assume not everyone hangs about waiting for race, match etc....? i mite wear my 'i am a mystery shopper' t-shirt just in case i dont stand out enough lol!
