    It really can take some effort to do this, particularly with dealerships that want you to have an "experience"...others have a lengthy finance package and powerpoint. I've been round most of the Edinburgh garages now so can't really do anymore as they tend to be a circuit. The actual client's dealer is quite difficult and have a very hard sell too. But all in all, I quite enjoyed doing them as I love to haggle and aim to get the best possible deal.

    However, now that there is no flight incentive, I won't do any more as it's not worth it to travel with the variable amounts of time each visit can take. I'm obviously not signed up with the new company as I still don't know who it is. :(

    You probably are signed up to them, as I am, although I haven't officially been told about them winning the contract or seen anything on their website. They seem to be very selective with quite a few of their clients.

    Possibly, I'm not signed up to every company & I think a few turned me down. If any kind soul wants to PM me, I'll be chuffed.
  • Has anyone managed to do the cold smelly crisps covertly? Tried to do some today as a trial run and now have ten photographs of myself reflected in freezer doors.

    Think these are going to have to be overt from now on which is a shame. No more tying them in with MSing the same store!

    just back from doing my shops, had to go primark as well to buy a few things for my holiday so turned into a very long trip!

    did my tern bra shop today. had to come back an hour later for a fitting (she made me an appointment). has this happened to anyone and if so what times did you put down on the report? it says to make the appoinment and go back if you are happy to do so which i did, just not sure how to record the times and the wait. thanks

    have to say the service both times i have done the bra shop is excellent. would def buy all my bras there if i did not know where the freya/fantasie factory shop is :D

    no sun for me today as need to crack on with my edigital surveys as have four to do by mon and i have only sent the emails so far :(

    I had to delete a load and go stand holding the door open. The reflection was really bad!

    Who's to say BARE won't win the contract back at some point?

    Advice still stands :cool:
