They say the reason for the pictures is marketing, however I strongly suspect that it's to check the marketing. For example stores with x size or number of windows should be displaying x, y & z posters in window one and so on. Bearing in mind the same company already do window audits in another division.....

Well if it is they are taking the pi$$ as to me that's another separate job :eek:

What we need to do is add up all of our stores as a collective. If we have more than half of the total, then we can refuse to do the photos as well:D

I'm in. I've got 7. How many did they list? Was it around 1,300?

hi guys,
for those of you that are employed full time and do this part time etc, do you pay class 2 and 4 NI for your mystery shopping?
any help much appreciated

On the subject of the photos - I forgot to get mine at one place. It's nearby, so I can swing by and take them tomorrow, but I'd like to email them tonight and explain the delay. Can't see an email address on the brief - any ideas?

I slightly struggled with one of the questions - what was the fascia branded? Nothing. They shut on Friday for a refurb and they've taken the sign down. The upside was the massive numbers of 'discontinued' bargains, including the rather excellent sauvignon blanc I'm currently drinking. Maybe I subconciously forgot the photos so I could go back and get more?

There is a fair old chunk regarding tax and NI on the first post of the thread which might be helpful to you!

No, there are no benefits to paying twice as long as you earn under £5k or whatever it is.

Monkeynut is right, the first page has everything you need.
