Can anybody that did the RE bookshops before see them again this time? I can't see any in any area and wondered if you are excluded from all of them for a certain length of time after doing one?

I didn't see them either and I did one about 2 months ago so there must be some time limit before you can do them again.

That's probably why I have nearly no jobs this month as in the last two months I've done loads.

I think standards must be higher where you live as that doesn't sound bad to me at all!

I did one recently where I got "be with you in a minute" at the speakerbox and it was the bast part of 5 minutes before they got back to me They then told me to park up and wait ... and wait ... and wait. They finally strolled out with my food after about 20 minutes :eek: There was only one other car in the drive thru at the time although I'm surprised they actually had any customers.

The store I was MS is about 3 hours away from me, I was "passing" with work , my local chicken shop (and the only one I have ever MS) has always been 110%, served straight away no waiting for food, friendly staff etc. I might just be spoilt by them!!

Either that or they were snapped up so quick you missed them!

I didn't see my local one - Pennies must have nabbed it if it wasn't you I'm determined to get one at some point this year though!

I was able to see Norwich and a few others about 8am this morning but they're not there now.

Is there an App for that?

I think it's next to the "take the dog for a walk" app.

got a chicken job today. There is only one in the town but the Address showing on GAP isn quite right. Do i still go?#

Think it's half google error (there are two streets with the same name within half a mile, i worked on one and know google points to the wrong street for stuff) and half GAP being a little slack with the address,

But i know what they are like, any excuse.

Advice please

I have found both Gap and RE to be pretty terrible with addresses. If you've got time before you have to shop, you could try asking for clarification? Otherwise, if it's the only one in town and the address and postcode point somewhere near it, I'd think you're pretty safe.

As always, if there is anything not covered in the first few posts, feel free to ask.

If there is any piece of information that you have that you think should be there, please PM me, and I will add it in!

Take a night off & lo & behold a nice new shiny thread this morning.
Thanx
