This isn't worth going into alerts, but there is a job on GFK which someone must have been released. It's for a day out in Dorset if anyone is in that part of the country.

Has anyone done one of the tiny Gap restaurants? I'm supposed to be doing one tomorrow but have only just read that you have a minimum spend - but also can only get a main and a drink unless offered anything else, and this would be less than this minimum..

So do I a) underspend, b) order something else or c) take someone else and buy something else anyway? Gap haven't answered me and I haven't got long to decide so any help would be good

I have completed one of these, not had it queried, but not yet due for payment.

I went alone, underspent the amount quoted, having a main and a drink. I understand from elsewhere that the full payment has been given in similar circumstances. Hope that makes sense, and helps.

Must be the "North thing" Mimi. They don't like me either! I would love some of these email and telephone assignments.

I've only just started seeing them since yesterday. Before that I didn't see a single one and I'm in the South.

Thank you I know I'll have to break one rule, so it's a case of : which is least likely to result in trouble..

Does anyone have any experience of a "closed shop" for a TNS assignment? My local store is closed for refurbishment so I could not do my assignment as planned today. Will they compensate me for my time and petrol? I know RE and GfK have a good attitude towards this eventuality but I haven't had experience with TNS yet.

I did a bar once for TNS and they wouldn't let me in because I didn't have student ID (TNS didn't tell me I needed it) and they paid me the full fee.

Are all you lot telling porkies on the ALERTS thread? I have updated my Census about 50 times and I ain't seen a single phone call or email. What gives? Is it cos I am from Yorkshire that they are not showing? LOL.

Well I know we are both under 30, so I thought it might have been that. But MG is over 30. Guess we didn't match the census criteria. Oh well.

Ive only just hit 30 (y.o.) in the last week, but ive had 40-50 showing, based in midlands., but only those linked to my census

Gutted! Was trying to book a secret eating hotel which has been sitting all weekend. Phoned office at 8.59. No answer, 9.01 engaged - visit gone.

How disappointing. There was a restautant I want to book the other day, and I had to wait till they opened at 9:00, and I did get it, but it was a nervous wait.
Was the hotel a bronze/silver one or higher up?
