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

Phone and find out for yourself. One of my locals will deliver to a public place, the other one won't. I assumed after doing the first one that the second one would too and ended up with egg on my face when the trolls said no! Boohoo.

Does anyone have a weekend telephone number for RE? Asked the dumb allocator to change the date to tomorrow's which she agreed to, and hasn't! Errr.

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.

Bare? I learnt the hard way. By the time I came to do the last two of the circuit I was down to about 30 minutes in there. I had a 90 minute visit where I spoke to at least 3 different staff/managers. I didn't find them much fun...

yeah not a fan of those visits,
my best ever is the one who wouldnt offer me any discount till i signed a deposit form agreeing to purchase the car ha ha...as if anyone would !

Another stupid question time (sorry whitelabel!):
When visiting baguette shops that sell stamps, do they sell stamps at the counter where I'd check out my main shop purchases, or is there a seperate area? I haven't bought stamps in years, nor have I been beyond the front door of this branch, so don't know what to expect! I'd feel mighty daft asking for a receipt for a single stamp, and my visit page says I only need one upload. But would rather be safe than sorry

I did the circuit of 8 felt like it took forever. Hard sell annoyed me particularly at the actual benchmark brand. Thought it was quite lucrative and we all know we have to put a bit o graft in to make any money so I thought I would give it a go. In hindsight i doubt I will do them again!

I thought that you only needed the stamp if they have a separate Post Office in store, so yes, it would be a separate counter and separate receipt - that was my understanding of the brief anyway.

1.5 hours is my best, nearly lost the will to live. Had another where the guy wanted me to have the "full experience", testdrive etc. His manager got a "full experience" from me too!

2 hours in a car dealer, offered about 20 coffees, didn't have any, but got the price down to below What Car/Internet pricing. Didn't think I could do it.

Anyone got an email address for an owner / top level director at ESA. I'm absolutely furious with one of the project managers. I had to cancel a job and was a few hours late submitting another due to my wife's grandfather almost collapsing in a car park earlier in the week. I caught him before he fell thankfully. Turns out he has a tumour on his brain which I advised the, admittedly gormless sounding, person on the other end of the phone who assured me there would be no issue with any of this. Today I received a rather rude email saying I shouldn't have picked up work I wasn't going to do on time? !!!!!!? Maybe I should check next time and make sure no one I know is suddenly going to start having seizures?
