Morning all, hope you all had a pleasant weekend. I've had an email from shoes testing panel to re register but don't know what to answer on question 20. Do you share the results of the products you test with others?
Yes - close family

Yes - close friends

Yes - with everyone!

No - I keep them to myself

Are we meant to? Don't want to put wrong answer and not be accepted. Anyone else had the email, presume there are quite a few of us here who are members of shoes testing panel. Suggestions gratefully received, please. Thank you:)

josie_ann, I've not checked my emails yet but I'm a member. You've got me thinking now. If they are new products it would be a no. I haven't got any of my old paperwork here with me either to have a quick read, you know from previous testers.

Have you looked on the Boots Testers forum, I can't even find it bit I'm sure people on there will be talking about it xx

hth

Savvy :hello:

How are you keeping? Not seen you for ages, mind you I keep doing a vanishing trick now and again. I hope you are well though xx

Good afternoon Elite :hello:

Had a lazy start to the day but I've got to shift myself and go down to the farm for eggs then might pop to Lidl.

Haven't been to Mr A as I don't need any supplies from there

Hugs to the Elite poorly and those low in spirit, you're in my thoughts today xx

I must have missed your post Josie ann earlier and AJ's post has prompted me to have a look on some of the testing trial sheets that currently have for shoes.....

I am currently testing something for them and they are very specific that it is to be used only by me and product or details are not to be passed to anyone else...

based on this my guess would be its confidential which is different to how the testing panel used to work in the past.

I've been part of this panel for maybe 6 or 7 years and I certainly remember in the past that they were happy for someone else to test if you were not able/available....now I think things might be getting a little restricted to testers only.

I'm having an energy supplier nightmare....thanks to a tenant....if I hear the words "we can only speak to the account holder" again I'm going to go pop!

I have been speaking to 2 energy suppliers today....neither me or the tenant are customers with either supplier....but between the 2 suppliers and the tenant they have managed not only to switch suppliers,but physically install a new meter and now have 2 companies supplying electricity to a single property...both billing separately for exactly the same supply....

All this has been done without my knowledge and it just seems that we are going round in circles to try and rectify it....
it's days like this when I don't like being a Landlord!

The simple thing for me to say would be...it's not my problem dear tenant...you should read your tenancy agreement that tells you you can't change supplier without permission....and you certainly cant get new meters installed ever....unless you return the old ones at the end of the tenancy as per your inventory.....2 bills thats your problem too because you didn't swap suppliers correctly....oh ...and....you must have received some letters from these suppliers before today when one supplier turned up to switch off the supply to a meter(for non payment) that was disconnected by the other supplier and replaced more than 6 months ago...did you not think to say something sooner....

but I'm not like that and have spent the last 5 hours getting nowhere fast.....
