It's gone suddenly very mild in South Wales - we even had rainfall over night! :eek:

Two shops today plus a hotel visit, so should be quite a relaxing weekend (well, once I've jump-started the van that is).

How is Cardiff looking Badger Lady? I'm heading over to a spa visit today from England!

A quickie question that someone might be able to answer.

I know that with Gap burgers you are restricted to only doing 33% of the visits to one shop in a year. I havent been able to pick up visits to my local one for a while now. I think I hit the limit.

Does any one know how the year is measured? Calendar year? Fiscal year? It doesnt look like it's a straight year as I have now overlapped some visits from last year.

I'm not that desperate for a burger but they struggle to cover my local shop and it often goes to an increased fee. My last 6 visits were an increased fee and I think most of the ones over the last couple of months were. Makes it more worth while.

Of course I might be wrong about hitting the limit. It is Gap and they might just have barred me from the local shop without telling me.

Can't give a definitive answer, but I do know that they totally bend their own rules when they get to deadlines.

I did a shop on the Monday, and then got a call to do the same shop, same time-frame, (in fact ANY time-frame) at a huge supplement, on the Thursday or Friday. It looked like they were desperate to get the required number of visits in before the month end.

I was stopped from shopping one outlet for about 3 months after being identified following a query. It appeared grayed out during this period on the job board. After 3 months it started to appear again as normal.

I do like the way they have started automatically increasing the fees on the board at the end of the deadline. They still increase this when they call for desperate visits.

Thanks.

It's nothing urgent and I have emailed them but more likely to get a quick reply on here.

Hi, I wonder if anybody could help me?

I had a supermarket delivery for GR arranged for today but received an e-mail from the supermarket saying the delivery was cancelled due to the adverse weather conditions. That was yesterday evening.

I have sent a message via GR website about this but haven't heard anything. I tried ringing them this morning as well, only to find the office is closed until Monday.

What should I do now? I thought about filling in the questionnaire anyway and submit it but I won't have all the info required to submit it ('the date your order was delivered' etc.).

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

This happened with my local one a few months back and they were greyed out for a good couple of months. Suddenly they appeared again so I did a DT and turns out they'd had a fancy speaker screen type thing fitted (which completely confused me first time when doing the timings) so maybe they're just going through a refurb? Might be worth asking someone else to see if it's greyed out for them as well or not.

I can read the first page of the thread very easily, but there are many listed and I wanted to know from members experiences which one they found best. Ths can vary from member to member but I like to have a good insight. If you don't have a better answer to give than "read the first page" then don't answer at all. It doesn't directly answer my question so is unhelpful.

Probably best to read the thread then as posters comments on each company come across very clearly.

If I were you I would fill out the bits of the report that you can and then submit a query in the report......some of the reports auto cancel, and that way you should stop that from happening.

I dont think they work weekends there at all, so you will need to wait until Monday morning.
