    I used to like working for React, but they seem to be dropping/ditching the petrol and expenses that you used to be able to claim for, and which used to make certain jobs more attractive.

    The royal burgers they've got up now, the fee will just cover the meal, you might make a quid out of it. Haway, that's the plural of bollock that man!!

    Oh, just received another "There's still a chance to be part of a world record this Saturday". REALLY :rotfl:

    Ive just had an email with 2 1/2 x the original fee. Im not doing any unless they increase it to double that again and let me do a few.

    Bare on this occasion, but on one memorable occasion I took an AA jewellery job and didn't find out until I was committed that you had to pretend you were shopping for an engagement ring. I felt like a right idiot.

    What project with Bare?
    This was 6 months out of date so I've changed it.

    4 burgers, 1 fine dine, 1 dine that shall no longer be mentioned and all to do next week. My waist line will no longer be itty bitty at this rate!

    PS. Pizza Hut have a killer deal at the moment. £5 for an 11 inch pizza (pick one of five options) and unlimited salad. How good is that?

    Anyone know if that counts as part of the buy? If you know what I mean? I think they also do a 11" and side for £6 collection between certain hours?
    Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk

    Sports brand. The scenario isn't that bad, but they expect you to capture masses and masses of information about what brands are selling what in each store covertly, as well as asking a couple of stupid MS questions. For that fee, no thanks.

    The don't seem too bad to me and you can do 5. The ones I grabbed are all in same shopping centre with about 200 yards between them all.

    If you had been offered visit fee plus bonus of £X, would you have expected to be paid £X or would you have expected to have been paid the visit fee (which is a known figure for that type of visit - let's call it £Y) plus the bonus of £X?

    I expected one and got the other as you can probably tell:rotfl:.

    I was thinking the same myself. I would have done it otherwise.
    Just because you made a mistake doesn't mean you are a mistake.

    I applied for 21 in and around my area, hoping to get 5. I got 1 though there is a few still pending. If I don't get anymore I will bin it.
