    I have a Brief for the bank but you still wouldn't have the Id no and wouldn't be able to input your data I don't think. Maybe you will be able to do it next week. I have found them quite flexible with dates. Once it took them 3 weeks to send me a brief and I kept postphoning the job till the Brief came through!

    I don't think you're supposed to mention the client and ms company name together in the same post though,maybe you could edit it out.

    Had an email from one company because the place I shopped queried my timings. Scarily enough they included a description of me and what I was wearing. I was dressed down (chav stylee) because of the type of establishment and I have been in there with the kids anyway when I was not MS so how did they know it was me it's really a bit demoralising!

    Was it a burger company by any chance? Their employees can spot a MS a mile off, as they know we order EVM......... I was at a dinner party where an employee was talking about MS (they call us 'Gaps' apparently - can't imagine why....:rolleyes: and the alarm ALWAYS goes off if anyone orders an EVM, apparently.

    Another way you may have been spotted is by a combination of your receipt and their video system. I suspect these burger people are actually quite good at monitoring our behaviour! :eek:

    When all is said and done, I do expect to be MS'd as a MS, and try to behave as if I was being MS'd myself....:A

    SomeTimes I have done Burgers companies and I have noticed on my reciept and on there tv's behind the counter that the time is different to my watch and Gap have asked me about it before now. I remember one time when the times of the reciept and my clock where out by 4 minutes so I had to explain that to them. Sometimes I think that they might do it on purpose so they can have good timing.

    I don't think this will worry them at all. What they are far more likely to worry about is the time it takes the cashier to serve you - if you say it takes 3 minutes to receive your burger/sandwich/coffee, and their target is a minutes (these times are random examples, I don't know what the targets are for burgers except what it says on the questionnaire) they may check their videotape! :o
