    And thats why eBay exists. Sell yours and keep the free ones :D

    It's a thought but going this Saturday so maybe wouldnt get them sold in time. Also, it's for my wife's birthday so she might not be keen on me working while we were there.

    Have been stopped in a Non London station by the BTP and advised it was against Station ByeLaws. Even once the letter of authority was produced it was still not accepted by BTP. Looking at the quote here, the pics are not really for personal use.

    Only passing on info that was given to me.

    Photography

    You are allowed to take photographs on stations if it is for personal use. For any commercial photography, you must seek prior permission from the appropriate train operator or from Network Rail at their 17 major stations. On busy stations using a tripod may cause a dangerous obstruction to passengers so you may be asked to remove it. You must also keep tripod legs away from platform edges and behind the yellow lines. You are not allowed to use flash photography on platforms as it may distract the attention of train drivers and train dispatch staff and is therefore a potential safety hazard. You are also not allowed to take photographs of security related equipment such as CCTV cameras."
  • Sadly, prepare to have your job thrown out and not be paid for it. They will also ignore any further emails you send them about it. Lots of us have been in the same situation. They value this contract more than they value us shoppers so will always side with the burger joint and give them a glowing report. It sucks but its true.

    Nope, had quite a few queries recently, anything out of the ordinary they appear to be querying at the moment, and they've all been fine. I do a lot of work for them including lots of urgent last minute jobs at super-high premiums (double the biggest you'll see for a burger on the website), so I think they trust me by now. Hope so, anyway.

    You can't argue with a receipt anyway that shows the site to have been blatently lying about not selling any of those meals at the time! The cheek

    I had one the other day where the manager came out just as I was leaving and said 'Oh can I just ask you for some feedback?' - I was like, no, I'm in a rush, and added in my head - just wait for the darn report!

  • Hey everyone
    I joined Gyp on Saturday, was accepted and did the orientation. Have recieved 3 different emails telling me to take on jobs but when I attempt to search it says I still haven't been verified.

    Is this normal or should I get in contact with someone? It says it may take up to 1 working day to be verified and this has elapsed.

    Thanks in advance :)
