    "Going large" is perfectly acceptable when ordering your Gutbuster burger, and I've had this confirmed by my Aussie mate who phones me towards the end of each run. So get stocking up on your glasses.

    And I've done loads for Catalyst but never once sent in the receipt. I think that's just a through back to the days before decent camera pics, but has yet to be removed from the original briefing notes.

    And a big "HI!!" to everyone, especially the chaps, NIM and Mimi. Hope all's well with you all. I'm slowly getting back in to the mystery shopping thing, after the big house move and everything that entailed. I've lost my big wooden stirring spoon, but once I find it I'll be back to mixing things up a bit, just to keep things interesting :), so be warned.

    Where you been mate? Was getting worried you had been man napped! Glad you are OK etc.

    PS. Keep checking GR as everything seems to be going on today and no emails are being sent.

    PPS. TNS pending for tomorrow.

    Ref Catalyst. My impression from reading the brief was to stop people returning the item back to the shop? Might be wrong there as I'm not digging the brief out to check.

    Anyway, I sent mine off so feeling like the school goody two shoes now! :p

    does anyone who does catalyst toy shops send off the original receipt in the post to them at their UK address?

    ive not but read it today on the bottom of the brief it was there... ?
    Never sent a receipt back to them in my life. Also never bother signing and returning the "Yes I've received the cheque" forms either. I only ever do the toy shops the last week of the month then I dont have so long to wait for payment.
    Anyone know when gap are paying? I thought this was normally around the 26th
    Received mine this morning.

    Is it a cola-that-is-sponsoring-the-Games glass? I've had a few of those and they are really good, use them all the time!!

    You are pretty much naming the client here, given that is the common nickname for them.

    So we have to work on degrees of obfuscation? AIUI we are asked not to name the client. I didn't. What other names might you prefer?

    "Gap burger" seems to be the main one we use. It does it's job. We all know what is meant by it, and the average joe passing through wouldn't instantly recognise what we were saying.

    Don't get your knickers in a twist. Not yet anyway.
