I see the supermarket cafe concession that used to be with GFK is now with RE. Yet another one steps into the abyss.

I can't see anything on RE apart from Spanish airport eateries, foreign hotels, and the same sandwich shop at London City Airport every week between now and the end of July!!!!!

You can't be one of the chosen ones then. I think you need to have had at least 50 proofreading queries since bonfire night to qualify lol.

Oh that's just wonderful. Abai have dropped their cat shop one visit fees! Where do these companies get off?! Don't they realise there has been a petrol increase and that it now costs us more to do these visits? :eek:

Yeah I thought that they were less as well. Had only ever done one and it was about 8 months ago but when I looked at it I didn't think it looked right.

I don't see why that is taking the joke too far! You joined in with the line about the old coathanger so why shouldn't Tudorc have a laugh as well? Or were you hoping your line was so funny no-one would be able to top it?

Erm... Well, actually I was joking! You're a bit snippy tonight!

Notice google maps now have a little gizmo that works out your mileage cost to a particular place. Is this new or has it always been there and I've only just discovered it?

In their defence, these visits are pretty easy. While a 20% drop in fees is never pleasant, I have done visits of this kind which have taken all of 90 seconds and a further 3 minutes to write up. The terrible truth is that if there's not enough money in it for the shopper then they're probably better off not doing it...

I picked up a job that Mary Portas did herself IYKWIM! Maybe I'm not too old for that shop after all!:rotfl:

Also did a job today in a department store concession where I had to ask for an outfit for myself to be told that they mainly catered for ladies older than myself.

Gosh, I feel youthful today!:j
