!!!!!!, after over a year without making a single mistake serious enough to lose a payment, in one day I've forgotten to ask for a receipt in a pharmacy, failed to ask if there's a toilet in a petrol station, and visited entirely the wrong department in a furniture shop.

May cry.

Or just go to bed and start again tomorrow.

I think we're all a bit that way at the minute, a p;ayday will make it alright though

I'm trying to work out if I visited the wrong phone shop the other day. The address was:

<client name>
Unit <number>
Level one
<shopping centre>

I walked through the same level today on my way to get a bus and realised they've got two stores on that level, next door but one to each other. :huh:

What's a shopper supposed to do? Walk in and ask them if this is unit number 223 before starting a shop?

What I'd do is check what the unit numbers are for other shops near by and see if I could work it out. No idea why shops have more than one branch so close - had that with a travel agent once - fairly short road with one at each end. Dutifully went to both to find out about the holiday I needed :rotfl:

Might be worth tapping the address into google general search, and then trying to view it at street level? I've got my clues like that in the past, or done what kst does and look at the places around it. I've also resorted to picking up a shopping centre guide in the past or using the interactive screen things. It's a pain.

I had that in Stirling, a PITA it is too, a smartphone and a shopping centre webside saved my backside.

Very nearly did that a few weeks ago with those phone shops. Two stores of the same chain, about 50 yards from each other in the High St. I had to google the shops to the left and right of my MS shop to check I was doing the right one....as it happened I was gonna do the wrong shop .

RA are finally pending for Monday. I thought they were meant to pay at the start of each month? Confused dot com.

When do ESA pay? I'm waiting on a fair bit from them. Also, does anyone have a contact number for ESA that actually pick up? I have 2 numbers and neither ever gets picked up!

FREE LISTINGS on eBay this weekend in case anyone wants to get rid of any purchases they won't use.

Have a grand weekend all.

High Street's aren't too bad because the numbers follow a sequence. A fair few shops will have their frontage number on their sign, or a receipt, so you can work it out, ask someone who's deliverring, or at least nip in a quiet shop and ask them which frontage number they are.

With hindsight though, I suppose that's why they give us a helpline number.
