          A 60 hour week for 6 months. Is that still legal?
          Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

                  Thinking about it, this is the sort of piss-taking advert that deserves to have the piss taken right back. I can only hope that public-spirited people (who may have some time on their hands right about now) will submit cvs that match said job spec and waste the agents time on the phone by pretending they may be interested.

                    Nope, unless you opt out of the European Working Time Directive.
