Has anyone downloaded streetspotr?

How does it work exactly? I have found a student page which says about registering, then downloading the app and then there is a welcome task whatever that us

It says 5 mins for each task, taking photos on your phone - what else could you be asked to do?

I am a bit worried that as we live semi rural there won't be many tasks

Here's your answer:



Look at the top red circle. A 2nd year junior doc earns the lower amount, whilst an 8th year junior doc earns the higher amount. About 300 hours per month. We also have to pay a £400 yearly registration fee, £500 a year for a defence union, £1000/year on examinations, £500 for courses...money which we pay ourselves.

The lower red circle (£50k) is highlighting a position of what a physician associate can earn - which is basically a non-doctor (i.e. they have no medical degree and are not called a 'dr') who has to go through every patient they see with a qualified doctor. Another great idea by the government to fill in the gaps within the NHS...

Thanks for your answer, Karlie.
Firstly, I have the utmost respect for the medical profession.

I just have a couple of 'buts'. I am not being confrontational. They are just comments.

My son and daughter work for an international company. They have to pay for their exams and courses, without which they cannot progress to being 'tested' to carry on in their positions before they can try for advancement. They do this in their own time, which I assume that you have to as well. I think that many people are not lucky enough that their employer pays for this.

A lot of people work 300+ hours a month, ask any self employed person or someone that has to do 2 or more jobs to make ends meet.

When we decide what job we would like to do, it usually means that we are aware of the pay/hours/conditions etc. so it shouldn't be any surprise that exams etc have to be paid for. To go into a profession is your choice, some people haven't that choice (for whatever reason) and have to take any job that they can get, to pay the bills etc.

For what it's worth, I have close family and friends in the NHS who tell me that there is nothing wrong with the salary that they receive, it is all the other cr*p that they put up with.

Hope that I haven't offended anyone.

Makes you wonder how many enjoyable jobs have been ruined by the crap, and how many jobs have been made unbearable by extra admin/paperwork. Just where did the world go wrong. Trying to 'improve' things have just made them worse.

Apparently a number of Poundstretchers are closing down including the one I visited today. Had a brilliant time going up and down the aisles choosing bargains. :T

It was its last day open today .......felt so sorry for the staff....it seemed cruel to be excited about bargains.

Then called at S to get a load of nectar points:T and another load of till spits including a 5 x wys £20 points voucher. :T nectar are really pulling out all the stops aren't they?
