Kantar - Royal Mail Monitoring and Posting Panel

Schnurrbart

It's been a slow day at Schnurrbart HQ; I've just realized that quoting quoia's post, which was unnecessary, uses up much more of a page than a few redundant line spaces do.


Oh, what grace bringeth this eve,
That I may, at my most blissful leisure,
Take my fill of pain or pleasure,
And, as the raindrop into churning seas,
Lose myself in such delights as these.


[Edit: Or I could learn to use basic editing tools like the Snip function to just quote relevant parts of a post. Just saying...]

Apologies, by the way, for my tendency to overuse (and combine - see, I can't help myself) parentheses and dashes, not just here but in other posts. To my mind, they help me express myself more clearly, but I appreciate that some may consider my posts to look cluttered.

I do that too - it sort of mimics the way I might speak with pauses, looks and change of tone to indicate a parenthetical remark. I have often wondered why quoia habitually writes in blue and bold...

Anyway - having abandoned TNS earlier this year - I am missing the free stamps a bit - but from reading here, I am not missing the new system one bit!

Me too!

I am not going to be using my diary, so if anyone who hasn't received theirs is desperate for one just PM me their address.

Thank you silvercar for your generosity - it arrived safely in this morning's post.

MABLE

I have been on and off the live panel for the last 4 years. I have received the invite to participate again and yesterday received two training items.

However no presentation pack or usual stamps received. I emailed them and received the following reply.

"Hello Mable,

Thank you for your message,

We have had a small process change for our training process. This means you will get your stamps when you have completed the training phase.

If you have any other questions, please let us know.

Kind Regards"

good luck with actually completing the training process Mable.
I've been trying to complete it now since July...They put me on the training for a couple of weeks then say its oversubscribed so pause me.only to reinstate me a few weeks later....its gone on like that since then...apparently I'm due to be back on the panel from 2nd Dec,but I have no idea whether that will be in the training capacity or not.
Ive done far more than 7 weeks training since july but its not been in an unbroken stint so I guess it doesn't count.

Previous to all this I had rotated every 6 months or so without a problem,but I must admit that after this latest effort I'm seriously considering giving it up...shame really I think ive had almost 10 years but it seems that things change and to be honest the last 2 years haven't been as enjoyable doing it as they used to be.

The incentives have been cut right back and perhaps I remember the good old days too much....who else can remember getting an extra book of stamps included with an extra posting to a particular organisation that we wont name?...just one of the extra perks that used to crop up.

I moved house and tried to get Kantar TNS to update to my new address, but they never did. Every time I asked them how to do it, the thread expired and they never got around to changing it. When I try to log in it says "Panellist account has been dropped!"

I tried to join again through https://kantartnspostpanel.com/landing-private.html


but I'm getting 404 not found. Have they stopped recruiting for new panel members or is there a new link to join?

I can't access that link because
