Being forced to go via agency from being a direct contractor.

Wild stab in the dark, but I'm thinking that that was tongue-in-cheek. The fact that he used the wrong type of "your" probably is the giveaway!

You're probably right; it does upset him so though bless him

It normally does yes, which is a bit hypocritical as my grasp of the English language is not great. Thankfully I have TF to correct me every time I slip up...

But in this case it was a bit of a joke thread. Post 10 through to 13 all have incorrectly used words on purpose for a bit of giggle. You're task is to spot them all!

Just after a quick piece of advise on this situation as a first pass:
Yes, however its not forcing you as you are freely within your rights to walk away from the contract
Try not to let it effect you too much
The recruitment agency has written to me saying this however, saying this:
Is this an employment or other type of business law issue? Should I seek professional advise on this before comitting to anything?

Can I have a prize for pedantry?

Oh very good, I didn't check the rest of the posts. I put crutch instead of crotch which is one of Mary Poppin's pet hates I remember and I think I used principals instead of principles. Knowing me I got it wrong trying to get it wrong though. Am sure there are a couple more your and you're in there somewhere as well. I should know better than getting in to English games, especially with TF lurking around

Close but no cupcake for you!!

Jesu's wept

Seems we are all being pedants...

Are you sure this is right? Jesus wept is the shortest verse in the bible (John 11:35)

Seasider, if you are sweating at the thought of a £17 per day rate cut, I would also prepare yourself for the 10% rate cut which will probably come shortly after all the contractors are under a single agency.....
