Never had a problem with gap

Ditto. Good day to do the shop - lots of food for the reimbursement!

Thank you, I appreciate your replies. I always worry GAP will tell me off.

N.I.M

Anyone else get and email from PIP asking them to go to Dublin when they live on the other side of the sea, in my case 311 miles away.

Did a job with a big premium for RE today - did such a careful, detailed report for them and have received a ticket with a shedload of proofreading queries that make no sense whatsoever. I'm a little miffed and at a total loss how to respond as their queries are ....crazy!

Yes but my email stated that it was in my area. I'm only 183 miles away and it should only take 4 hrs and 48 minutes. Worth considering as I really have nothing better to do during the run up to Christmas with 2 kids under 10 and 18 clients wanting to get their nails done.

Said the same for me. 311 miles? Its practically round the corner. ESA do that too mind you.

I find some mild sarcasm can help. Don't be rude (especially if it's a valid query), but point out just how bloody ridiculous the query is in a sarcastic tone and they usually go away.

Just knowing that other people get ridiculous queries somehow makes things a little better. I wondered if they were being snippy because it wasn't a particularly glowing report?

I'm aware of an individual who recently said they wouldn't answer the query and that if re were unhappy about it they could rebook the assignment...they got paid. To be fiar the query was utterly rediculous

Haven't seen this discussed recently but sorry if I've missed it - the next RE pay day is scheduled for Christmas Day, has anyone heard when this will actually come in? Is Boxing Day a bank holiday? (the Monday) as obviously it wouldn't be paid on a Sunday anyway.
