auntypog - RE are going to know who you are now that you havw posted what you wrote on your questionaire. I think most people will tell them about the fees but who knows if they will take any notice.

Doubtful. People do do all these jobs for just a couple or few pounds so why would the MS bother to pay more and make themselves less competitive in the market.
It's only if more and more shoppers stop working for such a pittance that they (or any of the companies that pay little or nothing) may take any notice of their ridiculously low fees.

I have read on another site that the stamp shops are for over 55's

Over 55?? Think not, what they meant is there are over 55 showing. I could see some if I enter the town name. They went very quick but not worth it. (I didn't book one). No reimbursment just fee (same as what you got for a toy shop in Gap) hardly worth the headache.

Don't worry. It might only be a minor thing. Usually the client wants you to confirm something. It's very common.

A couple of mine were showing as only being for over 55s in the brief, but the others were just for checking leaflets and could be any age.

So the pub jobs on RE say it's for 1 person, just to clarify does that mean you have to sit and eat by yourself?

They once asked me to do a visit to a pub chain which I turned down. When they asked me why I told them ... the company who had the contract before them paid me twice as much - plus taxes!!

What did they reply to that Wensie.
