    JSA as I know the government is good for the money.

          Well how else do you expect them to keep selling crap tat and undersize confectionary for a quid!

            I'm talking Silverlink and various others, but tell me, where on Earth do they get any business from ?

            Excuse the vent but they are such an absolute waste of time...

            Got a phone call from SilverLink 4-5 years ago on Xmas day.

            Didn't recognise the number but assumed it must be an emergency so answered the call. Fella asked if I was interested in a performance test role based in Newcastle for 75 p/d.

            Firmly put that bunch in the absolute waste of time bucket!

                They've called me up at 7am on a bank holiday. However Xmas day is a new one.

                  Honestly, it made me laugh and you know it would be pointless.

                  I have a pretty thick London accent also, I'm pretty sure he had no idea what I was saying!

                    Haha yeah maybe Barry (the think indian accented ones are always called Barry) thought his offer of a senior London role at £75 per day would be a nice Xmas present for you

                      They seem to be aiming for low hanging fruit. I've had lots of calls and the rates are always far below market that it's laughable.
