I expect they'll offer it to me next as I was stupid enough to take one of them.
The place was full of tourists too spending massive amounts of money.

They don't pay fantastic money but they do pay you for the work you've done, unlike another company mentioned here.

You can't track it, it is a pain in the backside but you just have to keep track of it in your records and work it from there.

Phone number is on their site.

I prefer Baxters at Fochabers, I do Huntly to Inverness about once a month and always look forward to Baxters.

I'm not doing one this round but in the past there was nothing in the job guidance to suggest this was not allowed. I've done this twice and not had any negative come back.

I think it makes for a better MS if you go in able to let the sales pitch flow naturally rather than only want a certain item you are prepared to keep but I can see why the company would want the sales and lack of faff about returns.

My parents live in Elgin, it is a totally mare to get to as it miles from anywhere, it is about 1 and a half hours drive from Aberdeen and 1 hour from Inverness.

I just had a strange Gap query after doing a drive-in burger. Entitled, 'you've been identified' it goes on to list a car make, colour and Registration number, adding that I had someone in the car. I replied that no, I don't have a car of that make, model or colour - and I had nobody with me.

Spin forward 2 days, and there is a revised query. 'Describe the vehicle you used for the MS.'

Now, anyone had this before? I certainly see no problem in confirming when I've been spotted, but not help them build up a database of vehicles to look out for - or am I being cynical?
