    That must be a pain Larac. Strangely enough they are one of a few companies that I have mentioned before on here who I have never seen a single job for in my chosen areas and despite emailing them have never received a reply. You might not have done much for them but you are clearly the chosen one whether you like it or not. What's your secret? Then again perhaps it's better I don't know.

    You are not missing much as I just see the 'jack end' jobs on the database. The fees are similar to MF - only worth doing if you are in the area and doing another job and can do it as part of a circuit.

    Are you confusing them with RM? as I am registered with them as well and get very little from them.

    RA are driving me nuts - they must ring my mobile phone about twice a day and not leave a message. As I do very little for them I can only assume its to try and persuade me to do the jobs remaining on the board in my area. Perhaps they should jack the fees and then they may shift..

    Not much take up on the health shops or flowers and the fee for the buy and return on the toys shops is a joke.

    Its the health shops for me, no matter how many times I have said that I don't do reveal visits in stores, once you have done one that's it you can't do it for quite a while, they must have gone through their shopper list by now.

    They've called me for tiles in the past. I'm not sure why as I refused the one round the corner from me as the reimbursement was ridonkulous and the fee pathetic, so why I'd go south of the river to do one I really don't know.

    Mind you, as their system thinks that Leicestershire is in my area and shops a five minute walk away aren't could just just mean it is that their system is borked.

    No definitely RA. But also RM.

    Geography isn't RA's strongest point, I do not live in Liverpool!!!! Neither is leaving voicemails from the multiple calls they give you a day, answering or acknowledging emails, paying a decent fee or entertaining the idea of a bonus to make it a half decent fee when they are desperate to get a job done.

    Has any one done an airport job for MF where you do the report over the phone? I was just wondering if it is worth it or too much of a pain. Thanks.

    Very easy. You just have to keep an eye on what is happening as you go through to the lounge and the report lasts a max of 5 minutes. I pick these up whenever I can, unlike the majority of MF jobs which I wouldn't bother with.
