    You are bad Mr Whitelabel. I remember doing the health food shops for them all dressed up to the nines and came back home all covered in dust! Not a good look. I'm just going to do the european shop in normalish clothes, they can sack me if they want. Going in there al dressed up will make me stand out a mile!

    after the first few.. I and others sent feedback

    and they altered their brief to something like :

    due to the nature of the work, we understand you may need to wear appropriate practical clothing, however please ensure it is smart with no jeans, sports wear etc

    i thought I looked perfectly smart for the role and unless it was for a bank, Id do the same again

    Come back from one of my MS's and one of the questions says was the doors open.
    The door were not open when I went in, but were open when I left the shop.

    Its a yes and no answer. So shall I make yes for the doors being open or no? Its under the sub heading first impressions.

    I'd say no then, if it's a first impressions question. Mention that they were opened later if there's a text box.

    Grrrr, there's a gap pizza delivery just outside my postcode area with an enormous and ever-growing premium. Am trying to think of somewhere else I can get it delivered to!

    Oooh, does that work? Do I just leap out and pretend I was heading into the house when the delivery driver appears?

    Good plan! Ta :D

    My brother always did this when GYP bribed him with killer premiums + stamps + petrol. I don't think the delivery people mind as long as they get the money for the pizza. Good luck.

    If you can, try and wait for GYP to call you and then work your charm to get as much as you can out of them. Or you could always drop them a message and say you might be interested in the said visit and to get someone to call you.

    Getting it delivered to a pub in the area might be easier if you don't want to wait outside someone's house.
    Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
