I also collected coupons as instructed and then there were no questions on them.

I misread the brief and thought it was enquire about the bet in the window and then put a correct score bet of your choice on, so that's what I did.

It was only when I filled in the reports that I realised I should have put the bet on the match in the window

I've submitted them anyway but I guess I'll not get paid for them all. Hope one of the bets wins to cover the losses doing the jobs.

I just realised I did the same thing, I thought I'd put on the bet in the window, but when I've listened back to my recording as I was stood outside, I did the wrong score, doh!

GR was actually OK for me :j
A bit slow processing each question but other than that OK. Forgot to do the follow up phone call so just did that now - glad they are open til late!

Yeh I've just gone back in and finished the report I got half way through earlier. Onto the second!

I'm looking at a petrol station for React but it says to look at the guidelines for mileage expenses and also for what exactly is involved and I cannot see the guidelines anywhere!

One of my RE bets is a winner, but IIRC the bookmakers take your ticket back if you cash it in ( it's been years since I made a bet in a shop, I usually do online). So can I claim the winnings? Because RE are able to ask for the receipt for several weeks aren't they?

I'm not sure if this has been answered but can anybody else NOT get in to the test on the new TNS Sassie system? How do I complete it? And is this just trialling in a few counties? I got an email about coffee house jobs but there are none in my neck of the woods.

System

Abuse reported.

Re RE can you photocopy your winning betslip in case they need it? In 8 years I can say I have never had a receipt recalled but sod's law this would be the one for you!!

Or could you ask to keep the ticket as proof you won cause your oh wouldn't believe you lol

Does anyone else look at the ms the office website? Only I haven't been able to log on for days now.

I'm sure this was discussed a while ago and some people said it was fine just to record the numbers of different types (i.e. 6 paninis (inc. 2 low fat), 3 toasties etc.) without it affecting your score. Maybe someone else could confirm this?

Cheeky is correct: you don't have to list all the flavours on display in your report. I have been doing these for years, and was told at the outset, that it is only number of varieties/number of low fat varieties that is needed. I have only ever done them this way. Clearly it is OK still, because I have reports with full rating.

No way could I possibly remember up to 15-ish different sandwich varieties, anyway!!!

The first few I did, I only listed the number of each type, but one of my reports was queried and I was asked if I could remember all the flavours I saw, and if I could list them all. Obviously I couldn't, as I had only made a note of the numbers... I replied saying I thought I only had to note how many of each type and was advised it would be OK for those visits, but for future shops it would be useful to know the actual flavours.

Since then, I've made a little checklist and I just tick off those I see. If I happen to see a variety not listed on the website, I just make a note on my phone.

I guess it only really matters if the client queries it! The report I had queried had no LF options at all, so I would imagine that's what HO were wanting to clarify...
