Is it wrong to feel a sense of smug victory when you see a tone pub visits left on RE after the deadline

Not even slightly. I've got a bunch sitting round here for like 2 weeks now and am expecting the "There are mystery shopping opportunities in your area" emails today with calls starting thursday. Oh RE, maybe now you will learn...doubt it though.

Did RE posh sandwiches at the weekend and actually quite enjoyed it. I blimmin love their products! The report is a bit ridic but I pedantically wrote 'I did not choose the most favourable option because...' after every question so hope I don't get a query this time! It helped (in a strange way) that they gave me a hot drink in a mug when I'd ordered take-away so I could write about that, reason enough not to describe them as 'Super Team!' ...!

Good way to do it. Keep a copy of your comments so when they come back to you, you can reply with "I refer you to the full explanation I gave in my comments." annoys them but theres nowt they can do cause you have given a full explanation.

Thanks, will do. I don't mind answering the queries, to be honest, but it's frustrating when you've already clearly answered the question.

Hope everyone has had a peaceful, productive and enjoyable weekend. I remember a few people discussing purchasing a tablet partly to help complete reports on the move etc. Im considering buying an asus transformer the price of these are dropping at the mo as there is a new more powerful replacement due in a few weeks. Really just wondering about how useful they actually are for MSing?

Also might be worth checking Best buy as they are having a closing down sale starts in the morning.. bless em only been open for a year or so!

I have an iPad but they will all do the job. The only thing I would say is I could not deal with a 7 inch screen 10 is about right.

I’ve just seen that the same shop with the same scenario that I did 20 days ago is on GFK again (the phones one) – was there something wrong with the one I did? I got paid fine and received no queries… just wondering why it’s on there again? Having an ‘inadequate’ moment! I followed the brief to the letter, but they obviously wanted a certain brand of phone recommended and the MOS didn’t mention that brand at all. Not the ones where you have to prompt if they don’t mention it.

Hope it was more to do with the fact the MOS was new (told me) and was reading off a piece of paper taped to the desk the ‘interesting facts’ about the phone, which he did his best to convince me was interesting, but really weren’t. He also then tried to get me to sign a piece of paper at the end of the enquiry when I told him clearly I wasn’t making a purchase. He said ‘No no it’s ok, I’ve ticked the box that says you don’t want insurance’ and I was like – why on earth do I have to sign then!? I’m not signing any piece of paper when I’m not making a purchase! Bizarre.
