Mimi?!?!? The thing that jumps out at me most about this post is the fact that you have only recently signed up to Gap?
You're one of the greediest people on here, yet you've only just signed up too the company that the majority of jobs are FOOD!!! (Well, I would use the term 'food' loosely in the burger place, but the chicken tastes goood!!

I re-signed up (asked them if it was OK and they said it was fine, I didn't get sacked you see) with them as the stamp shops would come in quite handy. I've not done any work for them for over 4 years. Don't worry, I am not going anywhere near the burger or chicken places. I've got a bit of class, I did say a "bit", lol. The burger shop is a disgrace, only stamps for me cheers babes. Anyway, I am not greedy anymore, I've lost a stone in 3 weeks, so there :D

Second class stamps are sky rocketing in price come April/May, so you guys might want to stock up. I've read on a thread here that it might go up to as much as 53p each! Eeeeeek. !!!!!!!

Why did they even have their phone on? I ALWAYS turn mine off when I make a visit!

It is hilarious though.

Still seeing LOADS of them myself. I'll love it if they can't shift them...that said I got them to add a 125% bonus onto a fee to go do the job. Made me smile.

Just about to settle down to a mini Chinese banquet with red wine, accompanied by a delicious cheese board - thought I would treat myself when getting my GR home delivery, rather than just buy the normal everyday stuff I'd get in real life

I'm usually pretty well behaved when I get one of these...the booze section of the standard visit on the other hand with the wife being pregnant...

I'm shattered.... 8 audits today. Just uploading the results of my road trip round the county! My mantra was "think of the money, think of the money".

Who did you get 8 audits with in one day? I have GAP, IMS and those who must not be named and I've never landed 8 in a day.

I can see why you didn't do GAP fast food, as the meat isn't Halal. Is Kosher food similar to Halal? Both cultures seem to avoid pork. And good for you avoiding gap food, its all rubbish!

They sell them at Sainsbury's. My Mom saw it in their magazine and I've been hooked since. They taste like cardboard, but have very little fat in them. If anyone is trying to slim down, I would definitely recommend them.

Kosher and Halal is the same. I won't go into the gory details as some people think it's wrong to slaughter animals that way. I'm a Muslim and pork is a no no. Don't know about Judaism though and whether or not it is prohibited.

Oh and as for the burger shops from GAP, hell no. Have you seen the worktops and the cooking/frying sections in the back? I'm surprised everyone does not get food poisoning in there. The amount of gunk etc in the cooking sections is disgusting!

Thanks for your informative post. Pork is definitely a no no for the Jewish too. Although there was a Jewish celebrity on Come Dine With Me recently who decided it was ok for him to eat bacon! He made allowances for himself which was totally against his religion. I am no religion myself, but always interested in what other people practise. Oh and personally I hate pork, but love cured pork like ham and bacon.

Oh he is not the only one. I know people from my religion who say it is fine to eat pork too, as long as you a prayer before. To each their own, but meat is not for me.

Ooooh, is anyone watching the baking contest on BBC3? Yummy!

As the assignment clearly asks if you are a regular user of the service I don’t understand why you would expect them to pay for the trip, They are targeted at commuters etc., they are not looking to send people on train jollies just to asses this one element. For the fee and reimbursement it would not be worth the time to write the report for this one though…..I bet they will be still be snapped up quickly though

My point was, that they should either fund the ticket, or let you behave as a normal commuter would (e.g. be able to read, listen to music etc).

A bit like Catholics then. Lie, steal, cheat, commit every sin under the sun as long as you confess to the priest afterwards. (I went to Catholic school).
