Thanks for that Mimi. Got a payment from RA last week, but still owed for train station visits and town centre visits. Wish they would just pay everything together!

You are welcome lovely. I got paid for the train stations and the petrol. They paid me for something else too but not sure what as I have not done any further work for them? I will just assume it's a special treat for little old me

PS. Did an underground sandwich shop today. The tight cow specifically counted out 3 bits of olive, 3 bits of onion and 3 bits of pepper. Is this normal?

portion control could be more strictly controlled in some stores that others but all sandwiches will have a "recipe" that is followed the same as gap burgers do

You are welcome sweetie. Needless to say none of them are suitable for me either, but as soon as I see anything, I just feel the need to alert in case any of you guys fancy them.

No. For the meat/filling they do have 'recipies' ie, one slice of this, one of that, but for salad portion control varies from person to person and store to store. Personally I always ask for more olives/lettuce/whatever if there's not enough and they're always happy to add more.

No, not the filling, I understand that is restricted. But I've never had this with the salad before. Normally, they just chuck as much as they can on. One store only put 6 of each salad, but this was a corker! Imagine getting the salad bowl, it would be filled with air. LOL. Mind, that would probably be good for me, I need to stop junk fooding!

What I don't get is all the salad gets binned at the end of the day so why do they only put like 3 or 6 of each thing? The one that I work near normally has like 10 large see through bags filled with salad and bread at the end of the day left in the street for the bin men.

Maybe chuck a note through the door, pointless to waste that amount of food. They're getting their amounts wrong.

I will do thanks. But apparently it's their policy to bin it all which is beyond me because there are at least 5 people that sleep in the streets or benches in town (I work in Housing and I know who they are), can't they just give them some of it?

GR have paid today, so will be with us by Wednesday. I wonder if I will get the full fee and purchase for the phone shop that didn't have any top ups because of the crashed system..........

It will be down to individual franchise regulations as some "companies" can do abroad
