    I see ESA have asked peeps not to send anymore tweets until further notice. Wonder if we are going to get paid as would not mind betting that suspicions have been aroused with the upsurge in tweets with the same questions being sent out to the target companies?

    Looks like they tried to do it on the cheap - should have followed the GFK model IMHO for this type of work.

    Anyone else have a good laugh at the emails coming through from TNS?

    Since when did Cardiff, Swansea and co fall into the subheading of "Southern England" and not "Wales"? Might explain why they're struggling to allocate them!

    Has anyone got any tips for how to remember staff member's names? I've got a shocking memory. So much so that I don't know why I do this job. ;-)

    I've got pretty good recall, but I'm rubbish with names. Stick it in a text as you walk away.

    It's worst when you're shopping a female member of staff, there's only so long you can spend checking and rechecking a name badge before you end up looking like you're obsessed with the member of staff's boobs.

    Oh and practice makes perfect, every time you go in a shop, pretend you're shopping, then write it all down afterwards.
    Yes it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
    Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?

    Questions like that tend not to get answered in case someone who works for the target company wants to know for devious purposes.

    Thanks. I've usually forgotten before I get time to get my phone out! I've been known to go back and try and find the staff member again just so I can get the name. lol

    Ask the head office direct. They can only say no.
