    Could be a problem if his boss is into that type of thing...

      I guess it is important to guage one's manager's opinion to those things before trying, I guess. How would the manager react if a bloke wore suspenders.
      If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.

        That's when you find out someone in charge is a cross-dresser or closely related to one.

        Doesn't work if you work with people with teenage children.

        You are probably better of either being honest or hitting someone.

          Attempt to play nice. Tell the client that you'd like to leave. Tell the agency you'd like to leave and ask for a sub.

          If nothing happens, inform your client that you are going on leave for the next 6 months.

            Fair point.

              I read that as 'hitting on someone'. Worth a go.

                Come clean to the client. They won't really want someone around who doesn't want to do the job. I would definitely suggest doing this AFTER you've got your last pay (be it weekly or monthly). However, don't expect to be using the agency you're with in the near future.

                  This could prove a turning point in the contract and the OP may decide to stay after all

                  Contracts can be broken/revoked/superceded by mutual agreement of the contracting parties; as others have said discussion is the key here (and almost always)
