Can't remember if preview on windows hs a crop button as well as the rotate ones, might be worth looking at.

Alternatively open it in paint, use the dotted box tool to select what you want from the photo and then copy that to the clipboard. Go to file new, make the page smaller than the image you're pasting under options and then do edit paste. Save the new smaller image.

Bit long winded and might not be 100% accurate because I'm out and writing this from memory but hopefully you'll manage!

Thanks for the suggestion but It's too large in paint to select a box around (I've never understand why you can't scroll around a big file like that). Think I'm going to have to fiddle around uploading it to an online account and editing it there.:(

I'm not taking it to heart. But I recognise the difference between ''friendly advice'' and having a go at someone. And the reference to ''someoneone with the slightest bit of common sense'' was just plain rude.

I personally, would be happy to see the end of RE alerts full stop, as I never see the jobs

I second that. The number of times I have logged onto RE when an alert has been put on only to find nothing! It's not good!!!

Could someone please post the link for the log-in page for Quality Eye? I've registered with them and received my details but must have deleted the e-mail.

Haha yeh! RE don't do their legendary 7pm massive uploads that crash their site anymore so what some see in the north isn't always on in the south. I just casually browse their site now, but never seem to accept any jobs. I have to be in the right mood for them haha.

With the GAP burgers you have to spend 15 mins in the building. Does anyone know if this has to be before the 'end' time? i.e. if the last time is 2pm could I order the burger just before 2 and spend the next 15 mins in there?

Is there any companies that require assignments from disabled people?

If this was about RE I could tell you that you definitely could start the assignment a few minutes before 2pm, but as it's burgers I'm not sure. The paperwork says your visit needs to be within the timeframe specified, so I think that means you'd need to be out at 2pm (I think!)

I think a lot of companies are interested in the experiences of disabled customers so I don't think you would ever be excluded. I know that GFK have specifically advertised jobs for those with disabilities, so yes the jobs are out there if you're interested.

If I remember rightly it's a common question when you sign up to a lot of companies and if you're not sure then just give them a call. Most companies would be happy to talk to you.

That's what I was worried about. Shame, there's one with 2.5 x fee, but I don't finish work until 1.30, so I'd probably not get there until 1.50(ish).
