When I first joined Grass they put the date and TIME the jobs became unavailable, this changed and I contacted them and did ask if they had friends/rellies who knew of the jobs before they went on the board, they said no. I have my PC on all day most days and have an alert set up so I can hear if there is any change on their visits screen but still tend to miss a lot.

Grassroots don't make the jobs available to everyone at the same time, those who are closest and fit the job profile exactly get access first, if it doesn't go after 15 minutes more people get access, emails tend to get sent every hour so it could be on the board available to a whole host of people long before you know about it.

I am trying to renew my car insurance but am struggling on how to describe 'mystery shopper'. The nearest on one site appears to be freelance reporter in retail. Any suggestions please?

I'm not going to ever advocate lying on reports - apart from my laziness in selecting 'smart phone samsung' because gap don't have Sony on their dropdown.

But, by heavens, sometimes the temptation to tell gap that everything was fantastic just to avoid their stupid follow ups is strong. Especially when asked to confirm that I am a male in my 40s. I am neither - but they got the car right!

On a unrelated note: Would someone like to start a new thread? We used do do it every 4000 or so posts. I've done the last couple, can someone else do the new one?

Mf been awful with losing part of my report, usually the long 1st question. 2nd time I made sure I had kept it on a word document. It was horrible getting proof read queries.

I have seen nothing from GR for 2 weeks'??

It's best to save long narrative as you never know what will come back. Mf are right pain in the Jack with their queries.

With GR I am lucky to average one job a month.

Felt like that on a MF sandwich job. Made a slight criticism which was validated with narrative and ended up with a proof query on it. It was though I should not have put a negative comment down. Really cant be ars**d with them anymore.

I know Larac, it is easier to put down that everything is wonderful. Some of the proof reading queries are really odd.
