    I can currently see bikes, pizzas, sandwiches, clothes, pharmacies, nightclubs, wine bars and pubs:D

    I have several postcodes covered there - in fact think I have added the maximum allowed:D

    Im 29, female and in the lancashire area:D

    I think I'm getting some kind of persecution complex. I'd give up on them, but I'm quiet at the moment.

    A friend of mine told them she wasn't going to work for them anymore. Now they have SA she contacted them asking to be reinstated as she had changed her mind. My friend got told politely to go forth and multiply as she wasn't required anymore after being so rude! Ooops!

    Oh how nice of them!!! I had applied for almost 300 jobs and not got any, but I emailed to ask why, as was put on their database of "people who have signed up and never been allocated anything" and hey presto, a week or so later I had a few jobs lined up for them and have done a fair few since then, and got self-allocate as well.

    So glad I didn't tell them to stick it !

    Maybe I'd get told the same, maybe I'd not, guess I'll only find out if I decided to give them another go, but it doesn't look good! Never mind, I had my say, I'm glad I did, and they listened.

    C'est la vie.

    I bet you are! At the min, it doesn't bother me too much as I have so on for the next few months, and have had for the last 2/3 months, but it is just my luck for it to happen that they implemented self-assign so soon after me sacking them, and now have many more clients than they used to (or certainly more that used to be offered to the self-employed ESA shoppers, as I'm sure most went to the PAYE shoppers).

    Could anyone give me an idea of what kind of jobs are hanging around on RE at the moment? I never seem to see anything.

    Currently I can see 2 electrical shops (1 posh, 1 astromical) and a chemist. My postcode cover an area with a population of nearly 1M people. I'm 34, female and Glasgow based. I have a business email listed with them too.

    I can't see anything there at all but I am on probation - don't know if that makes a difference or not.

    I have a question - how come there's 560 car jobs for BARE all around the country but NONE in Bristol - not fair! I'd have done more as when I did it last Autumn I soon got into it and had a really good story going!

    ok, did a bank for PIP in my lunch hour.

    She refused to do anything now, insisting i make an appointment and handing me the phone number of a current account leaflet to take away and read.

    The breif say to pursue seeing them now but she really wasn't going to let this happen. Have emailed PIP but no reply. can't ring i'm at awork (But can sneak on here lol)

    Don't wanna fill the questionnaire in if they would prefer i not. any idea's/experience?

    Did you manage to speak to them? the same thing happened to me and I phoned them. The guy at PIP said that I had done what I was asked and to report exactly what happened. I was in and out of the branch in a record 4 minutes! :eek:
