    Oh well I suspect I will be getting "the email" from gyp next week, did a chicken shop for them today and the only thing I can be positive about was the food was fine. It was a drive through visit and I waited well over a minute to get served at the speaker then about the same time at the collection window before anyone came to it when my food was "passed" out to me with no interaction at all!!

    I am trying to write up all what happened and give as much info as I can but I suspect this might be the end of a beautfull friendship :D

    From what I have read of people who have been sacked before they pay you ok for what shops you have already done for them and submitted the report?

    I had an unbelievably bad one last night in the pizza place. Took AGES to get served, they'd given my reserved table away, couldn't find any chairs, salad bar almost empty - so couldn't get any salad bowl, and then, to crown it all, got myorder wrong and brought out the wrong main meal. The manager did take the salad bar off my bill - but that probably means I won't get paid!

    Even if you have to do a tax return, it's online, it's fairly simple and it has a guide. You might as well learn to do these things as they don't go away and once you have learnt, you will be sorted for life. The tax office even help you if you get stuck. People here will help you too, I'm sure.

    Becles, well done on thread, just need to change number in first paragraph of 1st post too. :)

    Oooh Becles, don't tell TG you've started a new thread, she might come after you with her pitchfork.... :eek: :D
    Haha I asked Becles to start the thread as I usually take a break from MS-ing in the summer hols to spend time with my family!! So I thought it better to have the thread "owner" here rather than absent. So sorry to disappoint you but there will be no sour grapes or fisticuffs over it, LOL!!!

    Is there a pitchfork app for iPhone?

    Cheeky!

    She's busy over the summer hols with non-MS stuff, so I though I'd do her a favour.

    Yep, and I'm very grateful to you for doing so.
