Well jealous re: the uber posh sounding chocs on REACT. All in London. None in Leeds? So unfair!

Lad, you're clearly not posh enough to have them!

Does anyone know if vouchers can be used for the Italian food on TMDC? this is my first shop for them and don't want to get it wrong. Any help would be greatly received.

If its the 2 mains for £X or 2nd main for £X you could use both within the last fortnight.

In the past when I've enquired they have been happy if it's not a set meal type thing, as you can be offered sides etc,
so if it's 2 for a price, or a BOGOF they are fine with it, but if its 2 courses for a price, they usually say no. But, I would phone to check anyway

Is anyone else as frustrated as I am eith the ESA clothes shop reports? They have got to be the most fragmented reports I have ever done! they make the RE reports look like they were written by a genius!

It has just taken me about an hour... horrible to fill in. I take it your on about the large high street clothes store? Not worth the fee and reimburse if its gonna take that long. Glad I only had 1.

I'm glad I don't work in London. There won't be any shops left to be a mystery person in at this rate.

That's the one. I did 4 today and had 2 more for tomorrow, I broke my own rule and dropped the 2 for tomorrow. They are really not worth it and nothing like the brief says. Won't be doing them again in a hurry!!

Still new to the game. Glad i have my rule of not taking lots of the same job until I really understand what I'm letting myself in for. Had my first 2 ESA jobs today the other job report seemed really straightforward.

Anyone done the bank transaction for GFK where you need to have an account? Trying to figure out how straightforward it is as I have 2 booked but there is a 3rd available

These are probably the easiest jobs there are IMO. It’s a pity you can only do 6 per month!. Quick paragraph describing what you are going to tell them in the report, and a few pages of tick boxes. 5-10 minutes to do the visit and 10-15 minutes to do the report….simples.

Really cheesed off! I did a tv shopping visit and returned the items via post with a letter stating that by law they had to refund me the postage payment I paid them to send the parcel to me. I pointed out that this was under the distance selling regulations.

I have just checked my account and they have refunded me for the products but not the extortionate postage cost. As it was two items I had to order, I had to pay twice the postage cost! :eek:

Where do I go now to get my postage cost back? Should I write them a threatening letter to say I'm going to take it further? And if I do take it further, with whom do I take it further? I want that money back. It cost me £4 to send the stuff back to them which I understand I wont get back but all in all I am hardly quids-in on this one. For all the work I've done it's worked out about the same as an RE or GAP fee. :mad:

Any advice would be greatly appreciated
