    Oh that's good to know for next time about the premiums. Unfortunately ive accepted this unsocial hours one without any premium, damn it. Nevermind, there's always next time!

    Bethem, but once you've done one, they'll have that on record and you're always likely to get a call for future late night jobs, that's when you 'discuss' your premium ;)

    So look on this job as laying the foundations for future work :)

    Don't know if it'll help anyone, but:

    Anyone right down South/South West, MF have a lot of pharmacy's that don't seem to be shifting. I'm going down there soon so looked for jobs on the way - them & gaming are clogging up my page!

    Both jobs pay a pittence, would have to be stupid as to do them, hence why they are hanging about (but i'm sure some idiot will pick them up)

    That does seem to be the case. North South divide in evidence.
    It made me laugh when RA said they would be grading work and offering certain jobs to their best workers. LOL have to be desperate to work for the fee offered in the first place.

    I did actually wonder about the North/South divide a while back, I mean I pick up some jobs mainly going north on M1 - and you have to be quick. Down south they seem to be around for weeks on end.

    There is a cinema job in the south (React) that's been sitting there for at least 2 weeks now! They keep upping the fee and still nobody is taking it!

    Problem is it still pays a pittence, not worth getting out of bed for.

    Not being funny but the pharmacy jobs on MF would only appeal if you have very young children due to the product you end up buying. Mine are older teenagers so no appeal to do the job as would not use the product. I noticed that a whole load of pharmacy MF jobs got picked up and then dropped over the weekend in my area so assume peeps 're read brief and thought no thanks.

    You are right Larac I've noticed that before on MF. It happens on other jobs there as well and can be worth making a mental note of dates before they disappear as some have a habit of reappearing a day or two before their end date and with a (slightly) higher premium. I picked up a couple this weekend that need doing tomorrow in fact.

    You think the fee attached to that job is a pittance?
    I'm sure many here will disagree.
