    Sounds bad MissSarahLeigh. I would leave out the bit about the brownies and the portion size being poor value as that is something that the individual restaurant has no control over (unless they are supposed to give you more - but I think this is standard). The rest should go down OK with RE, I have had disaster visits and had no comebacks. Good Luck.

    He normally gets that dessert and i've never noted it was small. I'm positive you used to get more.
    I get what i want. That isn't because i'm a brat or spoilt. It's because i'm determined, i work hard for it and i achieve my goals!

    If RE want you to give constructive critiscism to the question 'do you regularly use gaming machines', why don't they word the question better, for example 'would you use the gaming machines in this establishment?' - obviously the proofreader didn't like my answer ...i am not a gambler and do not use gaming machines!!!

    No doubt one will ask you how you felt after realising that the restaurant had attempted to bump you off with bad chicken.

    Is physically sick a good answer? :D

    Isn't taking an RE job a gamble...given that you never know whether:
    1. You're going to get any daft queries or not
    2. Whether they're going to ask you questions that weren't even in the original questionnaire (and then get shirty when you tell them the fee that you charge for answering subsequent questions that were not pre-agreed)
    3. You'll have to re-upload the very same photo 4 times before they accept that it's not blurry
    4. The member of staff whom you gave a bad report about will claim she wasn't in the country at the time of your visit, despite you getting her name both from her badge and her receipt, and a full description (including RE's standard info of bra size, inside leg measurement and details of her breakfast that morning).
    5. They'll just "forget" to pay you.

    Is anyone doing chemist audits for RE? It seems a lot of work for a pittance of a fee!
    Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth.

    2 things. Firstly, thanks to everyone who pm'd me re video work and sorry I haven't replied to all the messages. My phone hates mse, too big I think.
    Secondly, does anyone know if there is such a thing as a car charger for a laptop/netbook? Can't find one in the obvious places (pcworld) so wondering if they exist. Google shows me some but I'm terrified of killing my laptop so I don't want to buy dodgy imports and really don't know what I should be looking for. Any advice greatly appreciated :D
