    More annoying when you're halfway round a wave of store and another agency puts a project together going round the same stores tomorrow.
    Yes it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
    Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?

    Argh, oops. Thanks for the responses it is gap and i'm just back from doing it. I did leave the OH in the car. I thought the brief should have re-stated this then, bah.

    Did the visit go well? They may not check the cctv but it might be worth asking your fella to wait around the corner next time just to be on the safe side.

    I thought this was the case. So I've just checked their website and on page 3, line 6, of their key requirements it says:

    6. Do not have passengers with you in the car

    Whoops here too! - it's not mentioned in the brief at all though so I don't think they can be as strict as with the burgers.

    I've already been paid for mine so obviously didn't look at CCTV phew!. A least I know now for the future. Thanks Johnny G

    You're not wrong fellas. Both of these have happened to me over the past month. In fact, skivenov, I missed out on that very same thing just yesterday :mad:

    You're welcome. I believe you can do the chix shops accompanied but stand by to be corrected if I'm wrong :o

    Yep you're right I know for next time now! It all went well very straightforward so hopefully there won't be any issues :o

    I saw that as well - thankfully I can't do them - After this round I'm giving phone shops a rest for a while as doing my head in. Did one the other day which was not a TNS phone shop and CE was so much better. I know where I would go if I wanted to buy a phone.

    Yup. That happened to me today, but I just emailed the agency and they moved the date to suit me :) Happy days.
