    So gutted. My RE pizza visit branch doesn't deliver to me... I thought it would since we're both G12 postcodes. Apparently a G11 one is closer to me... and according to google maps it is 3 minutes further away :(

    Have people not been known to have them delivered to car parks / public places before?

    Really? I didn't think they were too bad; one was a bit grim because of a pushy salesman and his even pushier manager, but I've done a couple of others that have been perfectly reasonable. And the form isn't too horrible either, as far as I remember.

    I've done worse. :D

    I do a lot of these and they are ok, so long as you understand why they ask the question twice. The first time is the process so you describe factually what happened. The second question is always how you felt, so subjective opinion.

    this is the problem, I can't stand the sales approach, it is fake, disgusting and their "deals" are a rip off

    yup i have to get them delivered to the bottom of my road at a junction, as they wont deliver to my road which is silly but thems the rules, its like 5 houses away
    I pick a house round the corner and wait outside in my car and pretend just to be getting back as the delivery person arrives.
    very rarely do the re pizzas anyhow thankfully

    does any one else think the gfk phone brief maybe needs revising as surely any one spending that amount, is already likely to already have a decent phone and there are plenty of decent contracts for less than that amount these days that wouldnt be prepay or is that just me ?
    You currently spend a minimum of £**.** a month and you are looking for a good deal. You can vary the amount spent but it must be a minimum of £**.** as we want a contract recommendation and an amount lower than this, could lead to a prepay recommendation

    So annoyed. I had one of those car visits today that took f-o-r-e-v-e-r. 1 3/4 hours. Which meant I couldn't get round my whole circuit. Really going to struggle to fit the last one in.
