    What do you mean? I don't watch Little Britain and my dad is married to a Fillipino (seriously!)

    There seems to have been a problem for some people logging in for a while. Try https://www.retaileyes.co.uk or alternatively try 01908 328000. The staff are pretty good.

    thanxz annie, have tried the link you sent, it just keeps loading onto that page all the time, even after I enter my login details. I will give them a ring in the morning I think.

    Do people find it is easier in a big city to get MS jobs?

    I know I do.

    I can usually manage to fit in 4 or 5 a week around where I work (central london) just at lunchtimes and on late shopping nights. I once managed to do 2 betting shops in one lunch hour! The problem with doing too many in one go is that it's a pain sitting at the PC doing the reports when I get home in the evening.

    There have been a few restaurant/pub type ones that I could have done but they usually need 2 people and I havent told anyone at work what I am up to so it would be difficult to explain why they couldn't choose what they want to drink if I took one of them for lunch ;-}
