    plus youve named 3 clients in that post, so even if it were real, your observation skills are not quite up to par as it seems you missed the title of this thread.
    where did you find the company ?
    Read the first post and you will find lots of legitimate companies there...
    thats if you seriously think you are suitable for the roles after reading all the info.

    good luck

    ps that address is just a "front" its a secretarial office that companies can use to get a prestige looking address. they most likely answer the phone for them too

    simple google searches show the websites/ data are a scam too
    all the below is publicly available info that is easily available to check up on any one you may be looking to do business with.

    Thanks guys :) One more question, in the paperwork the first two questions say

    "Left of the restaurant"
    "Right of the restaurant"

    what about left and right?

    It means, what can you see on the left of the restaurant when you are facing the front door/entrance, and what can you see on the right. They use it to check you've been to the right place :)

    You're welcome :) Don't worry - I thought the exact same thing when I started.

    Haven't been on here for a while. Hope everyone's keeping busy. I've had a couple of weeks off but have been picking things up again in the last few days.

    Did a gapburger tonight after they phoned and begged a bit; as soon as I asked for my receipt the cashier turned round and bellowed "Need a chicken for a Gap meal!".

    Bless. :rotfl:

    Speaking of lefts and rights, I was so tired out by listening to a phone salesman this afternoon, and desperate not to pay for another hour's parking, that I completely forgot to check left, right, oppo and photo.

    Anyone in central scotland fancy doing me a favour?
