    There are plenty of MS scenario's where they don't want you to take it back. Or they are paying you an extra £20 (as an example) to go and buy an item. A word of advice is that I would always read the scenario meticulously to see where you stand.

    Thanks - I do check the briefs and make sure I am not breaching rules. I have a nice collection of MS junk as a result, which I can't use or need...

    As long as you are not out of pocket what is the problem?
    You can always donate it to charity or flog it on eBay as many here do. There is nowt in many briefs about that.

    Reading the notes for the RA station jobs, who's stupid enough to do them?

    Did a job today, nowhere in the notes did it say I needed to check was stores were to the left/right but it's asking for it in the questionnaire! Will they reject the report for this? I've got a receipt and image of the shop front. It's a shopping centre I don't know very well and I haven't a clue what's either side. I only make a note of that if they say I have to :(

    Try the shopping centre's website. They often have a floorplan.
    Yes it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
    Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?

    They don't sadly. Thanks though :) I blagged it. If I got it wrong and they question it, I'll just point out that nowhere in the brief did it say I had to make a note of that.
