    I could set up a website/discussion so we could kick these ideas around - I would rather do it somewhere we controlled, but maybe thats a personal issue coming out....

    let me know - it wouldnt be a chore...

    i signed up for RE a few weeks ago and have yet to find anything within my home town even though it's a large county town. I can only assume they have certain chains that use them that aren't represented in my area.:confused:

    I do alot of pub shops for RE - just taken one now in fact (this isn't an alert - it was only the one I could see on there not a big batch of them)

    I think maybe I am just lucky to get alot of the jobs I enjoy in my area. I love RE and couldn't recommend them enough - had no problems with payments or jobs being accepted.

    I am hoping that some of the Gym and Pharmacy jobs due to come up this week are near me!

    Morning everyone!

    Yesterday I had a hardware visit. And as timmne forewarned - it was a show stopper! When I returned for the refund, the man at the desks eyes nearly popped out and then he winked! Then we had a very interesting performance where there I was escorted to a till and then there was a little crowd of them all chatting to me round the till like I was their new best friend - arghhhhhhhhhh!

    Yikes! I am totally dreading my two now!:p

    I think the obvious shops are fine for the first few times but it's when being noticed becomes part of the shop that I don't like. You're not guaranteed to be sussed but if it happens every time, it becomes boring!

    I'm working from home today and really wish I hadn't answered my way out of gapburgers as I'd happily pop out for a cabaret for my lunch!
