This is the GPS camera they supplied if anyone is interested. I've no idea if it's a top model or average. They put a new SD card in each day and it just keeps recording all day long so it must have massive storage.

It blew up literally in front of me.
I hate that bit of the M1Lol, poor paradigm. I wonder if he's had a shift in thought since posting, perhaps a paradigm shift.
I'm on my second day, already bombed up and down junctions 21 to 21a of the M1 twenty times. On a 12 to 2 lunch break now. I'm loving all the free food expenses and the free diesel filling up. I'm at the Leicester Forest East services now.
Much like this thread in paradigms face. Yet he still hasn't acknowledged what an idiot he was and apologise like an adult.
I know it sounds a bit tedious but at least you are in your own car and can listen to music / audiobooks. I take it you drive on your own rather than being partnered up?
Funny how you never hear about these sort of things. I've been looking for part time work for a while for extra income but nothing good comes up but as you found you need to know someone I guess.
You see those guys sitting on bridges counting traffic as well, most of them look retired so must be a little extra income. Think that would be far more tedious though.

Yeah, we all drive on our own but most routes are allocated two drivers each. So on day 1, myself and another guy both drove the same route from roundabout to roundabout with a few minutes headstart between us often waving to each other when we passed each other on opposite sides of the dual carriageway. Then at the end of five round trips we met at a garage on one of the roundabouts and had a few minutes tea and toilet break. We did that every hour.
On day 2, it was just myself on the M1 route. But yeah, radio on, eating grapes, sandwiches and chocolate bars.
I'm glad my old 307 survived and I had joined the RAC just in case. I did about 800 miles in all.
I don't know how regular the work will be but I know there's a few things coming up and not just driving. Apparently it can be monitoring activity in a car park, or stopping people for an hour to do a survey interview which doesn't appeal to me because I know how people don't like that. But he told me he always pays £90 to £140 per day depending on the job.
This thread reminds me of that 'Paras' poster, who said he'd saved a mother and child from drowning in a car driven into a river and when it was proven to be a fake story he continued posting everywhere else apart from in that one thread, hoping it would go away. Not seen him post for years though.
I didn’t know of this story but I’m sure Paras is now Dr House.
If you're getting fuel and expenses on top of that then sounds like you've found an employer who pays fairly, so much part time work is minimum wage or expects you to be available as if it was full time.
Fair play to you, sounds like a nice way to earn a bit extra

It wasn't Paras/Dr House anyway, it was psychas.

Yeah my comment might have been a bit daft, I wasn’t having the best day!
I was offered another driving one on Tuesday 12th just gone but couldn't do it because I was doing a paid gig the night before. I would have had to drive to Leicester straight after (around 1am) ready for a briefing at 6am Tuesday morning and wouldn't have gotten much if any sleep. So unfortunate timing as I rarely do Monday night gigs.
But he's just offered me two days in Leatherhead for this Thursday 7am - 10am and 4pm - 7pm, and the Saturday 10am - 4pm, £120 per day, interviewing people in a carpark.
I'm going to do those. Five questions, where have they come from, where are they going, where are they going when they leave the carpark and a couple of other questions. Myself and one other person apparently teamed together. I believe there's 40 people in all doing this at various locations. Might be fun, don't know. Sounds easy enough though.
