Just to add, I do think it would be good to include about reading Page 1 first to the title. I understand that you're a bit limited on letters, but maybe changing "Please do not mention client names or fees on here" to "No mention of client names/fees" or something would free up some space?!?
Before the last few days I thought it already did mention that, but it's the Alerts thread that says Read the OP first. And in all fairness it is very rare that there are posts on that one which shouldn't be there so it must be working?!?

Agreed, changing the title to Please read the OP might make sense.

Although then the new first question will probably be 'what does OP stand for' instead!!

Why not call it, 'Read the first page first' and then the first sentence on the first page should say '**PLEASE DO NOT MENTION CLIENT NAMES OR FEES ON HERE**'

Yay! My week was looking really bad with no mystery shops at all but I managed to get an urgent Retail Maxim visit with travel expenses. But I have give my report over the phone. Has anyone done this before. I'm used to typing it on screen then sometimes rewording the sentences as I'm writing it up.

I was going to suggest that, but then thought that in case people still didn't read the first page, it was important to still have the part about not mentioning clients etc. But then again I suppose if someone has read the title to see about not mentioning clients, then they will also have seen the part about reading the first page.

It is the council that I have to keep happy as they are the only ones that look at my accounts in detail and pay me benefits. Self assesment for HMRC is a simple entering of numbers from my accounts. The tax due on £14,000 is only £1,305. I get much more in housing benefit than that. If I wanted to do the minimum necessary I'd sign on for JSA.

Can't find higher paying jobs. Always looking but can't find any.

I'm not avoiding tax I'm minimizing my tax in all legal ways.

They don't.

HappyMJ, we could (and have) been arguing this all day join mysteryshoppersuk and look at the tax forum, Page 3 (I think) where there is a thread re: a mystery shopper who was investigated by HMRC, we can argue the finer points of Tax until kingdom comes, but one thing I'm sure of you are taking the 'threat' of HMRC compared to the council too lightly.

Max,

Since you're around, I know it has been mentioned in the past re: possibility of Helion paying in £ (I believe at the time you said you were receptive to the idea, just needed to grow the UK client base to support it) , any closer to the likelyhood if it happening, as obviously at the moment payments from yourselves & Bare have an element of 'risk' in the current uncertainty.

TractorGirl has tried to change the title, but it's not possible to do it once it's been posted.

We're about to roll onto the next thread (we tend to after 200ish pages) so we'll make it clearer then.

HI Dazza.mk,

Its still in our plans but not possible as of yet. We hope to get it up as soon as we can as it will benefit us as well. We will keep you updated.

Thanks
