I haven't tried to get ANYONE'S backs up! Only evidently my own! I posted to TRY to help people use it and not waste it! I wasn't even talking about clients, fees, briefs or companies! I obviously posted in the wrong place as I was TRYING to help people money save a product that I didn't want to see in the bin! Do what you like with it!! Tut xx

Because we know what that it gets their backs up. Client hasn't been mentioned I agree but there is constant cater about what the product is. Those who choose not to work for said client are free to discuss and name who they want. But maybe a bit of discretion and consideration for those on here that do?

Agreed, I don't work for the shower of :£(& but thinks its wrong to keep on about them. They are touchy and it puts at risk the people that do work for them.

Hey, I'm not trying to upset anyone here I can see your'e trying to be helpful but I'm pointing out as BUN also said that we know how this client can be, and I am quite happy taking work from them. I don't want anything jeopardising this.

Maybe people can be as resourceful as you and google it.

So, people have spare honey, can I have some?

I don't work for said company and have no idea what the particular assignment entailed, clearly it involved the produce of bees.

I haven't intended to upset anyone, I was simply just commenting to MSKitten about honey in general, that's all. I eat honey every day, it's health qualities are amazing.

That said, the rules of the forum say no client names or fees, so I'd have thought everything else, within reason, was fair game.

Exactly, I don't work for them either, can't comment on them being a shower of :£(& because I don't know them, but from what's been written here and noticing a gap on a supermarket shelf, I could tell you with reasonable confidence exactly what the product is. Which makes a mockery of the fact that people have been paid to do a job covertly.

If folks are thinking "what's in it for me?" then remember there are a finite number of assignments there, for a finite number of agencies, and there are more people chasing these assignments every day. So, if someone else loses a client, their shoppers might end up picking over your work to bridge a gap.

Might just be me, but there's 5 people in this world who know all of what I do for a living, and I like it that way!

Post no #3246 seems like a clear piece of sh*te stirring.

That company specifically asks their shoppers not to talk about them. That company has been known to complain to places where they have been talked about.

Not everyone here chooses to work for them - fair play. However, this thread is not for the companies - it's for US, the shoppers. And therefore if one (or a group of) your fellow shoppers says to you 'Hey, someone I do work for doesn't like to be talked about' it is only decent to NOT talk about them - not because the company has asked but because one of your fellow thread denziens has asked.

It's just good manners and good ettiquette to the rest of us. This thread is really useful, and deliberate sh*te stirring winds people up - often well informed and informative people. And makes them less likely to come here and be helpful and informative.

So try and be a bit more f*ing respectful, eh?

Same here. I like to keep what I do private to myself.....my son doesn't even know what I do.

Weeg, I totally agree with you but if I don't know the company then I don't know their rules. A simple, "Please don't talk in detail about this company" would suffice and not some sarcastic remark which, frankly, just f*ing p*sses me off :mad:

My post wasn't aimed at you, but there is a reason people get snippy in this subject.

There are some folk in here that like to post the company name and as many details as they can (over and over. In big red letters). It's irritating to me, and very irritating to their shoppers. I, personally, find it childish and disrespectful and it gets trotted out so often it's a drag.
