They changed Mimi! They stopped all fee increases in favour of pushy, rude phone calls.

Agreed. They ring me multiple times without leaving messages and when they do get through, they start the conversation in the most odd manner- usually something pertaining to some kind offer I can't refuse or trying to butter me up somehow. I'm afraid because of them, now all MSCs who ring me, get a very sceptical tone.

Geez. SL calling me at 10 at night about a emergency visits to be done by Friday. Tad late in the evening to be doing calls isn't it.

Yip xD nice premium + transport. A lot of small jobs close by so easy money.

I'm not even bothering going to the west side of the county till the games over. Do not want to deal with the traffic xD

Ok I have seen a job for the first time in months for a job in my area from Catalyst. Chances of getting it would be very slim IMHO. However you don't see who the client is so how do you know whether its a shop you would get away doing a MS shop for as some jobs can be gender or age specific. They make it sound a 'big deal' - can anyone give me a clue as to the type of shop it might be as I thought they only did 'toys'. (Its pretty PP fees)


I have yet to do any work for them as they only seem to have one client every month in the same UK cities and not near any of them.

They have a toy shop client and a coffee shop, both are easy shops, decent questionnaire and decent fee for the work involved.

The only drawback of the caf! shops is that you generally have to do the visit between a particular timeframe, but I like them and what I have had to eat and drink has been tasty.

Has anyone done ESA train jobs? I have accepted one for a station I will be passing on Monday when I pick my lo up from my mums. However, I have since read that it says peak times and I cant find info on evening peak times for the rail network its on- only morning peak times and the brief doesn't seem to actually specify times. Its the first ESA one I have accepted (also have a travel agency one booked) so don't want to get it wrong. If anyone has done them do they have time restrictions (ticket office only visits) that I may be missing?

Very few areas and routes have an evening peak so you'd need to buy during the morning peak if it is a turn up and go job.
