    I guess you could put together a nice easy circuit and hit up a number of pubs on the same street or round a town or city centre.

    Is it possible to claim the reimbursement for the clicker against multiple pubs and that's meant to be the fee? Of course that would be insulting rather than bizarre.

    TBH it's academic for me, as that's my birthday and I am not spending it touring pubs with a clicker.

    I think it would be the sort where you clicked on one and any nearby would disappear.

    what planet is the gfk phone visit brief writer from ?

    "
    You currently spend a minimum of £**.00 a month and you are looking for a good deal. You can
    vary the amount spent but it must be a minimum of £**.00 as we want a contract recommendation
    and an amount lower than this could lead to a prepay recommendation.
    £**.00 per monthly would equate to roughly 500 minutes (call) and 100 texts"


    !? really
    for half that you can have
    750 minutes
    5000 texts
    500 mb of data and a free phone

    anyone spending more than £10 is most likely a contract already

    Yes, it's ridiculously outdated, isn't it? I always just say I spend the minimum amount per month but get a realistic number of minutes and unlimited texts.

    Hi peeps, newie/lurker here... just wanna say there is a fee to part 2 of the very interesting pub gigs, and its a decent one for MF I think, for clicking a button, filling in a few numbers on the form and taking a photo :D
    :rotfl:just a bit worried about the rugby fans who would have been out drinking and watching the 3 matches all day that day already... can't imagine what the Irish fans would be doing to celebrate paddy's day if they had lost :eek: (touch wood)

    p.s. hope I haven't broken any rules by hinting at the fee? whoops.

    The fee is the same as an easy GFK bank! There is a limit of 2 per shopper so not even the chance of a circuit. For the hassle you will get I personally won't be bothering thanks.

    They brief is the same since 2009.

    I reckon they'll sift them mind. Look at who the client and objectives are. I'll be amazed if the good will to the client doesnt shift them.
    This was 6 months out of date so I've changed it.

    I am not so sure, would be different if you could do a few but 2 is not worth spoiling what is usually a good night out for. It's not like the fee is anything special either.

    I can see 742 jobs within 40 miles of me though....think its the most I have seen of MFers

    They have added the fee for the second part of the pub jobs, if I could do a little circuit then I'd take them but two isn't worth it.

    I can't get the brief to open for those MF/RE pubs.
    Not intending to do any, but wondering what they are all about!
