Can't think of a worse place to work.

If you are going to do agile it sounds like a good idea.

However agile is a load of nonsense.

No it isn't. Well, it's no more nonsense than "We're a Waterfall company". Like chess, theoretical principles should inform your thinking not dictate your moves by rote.

When I worked on site in Runcorn, the hours were 830 - 1612 exactly. Big whistle / noisy thing sounded the alarm at 1612 and everyone downed tools and left.

Ooh, they're a bit kooky, wouldn't it be great to work for them?*

Client before this one. Did a few stints of remote work in the evenings at short notice - nothing major just 4-5 nights an hour each.

Then a few weeks later client manager had a moan because I was stuck in traffic and got in a 905am.

Lets just say I didnt offer to help out in the evenings after that...

Sounds like you were way too helpful in the first place IMO.

The client then thought they could take the p*ss after, not really that surprising.......

You are now upset because you expected a belly rub for your generosity

Every banking contract I've ever worked expected a 8.30-9 start, which is not unusual. In most professional working environments rolling in at 10am shows a serious lack of discipline.

I have had a bank contract which had flexi time, one which didn't care what hours you worked as long as you were there when there were meetings and all of the work got done to the required standard and one that went to the effort of emailing you to complain if you got in a 9:05 and not 9. However, that was not the company, that was just that one manager.

I worked for a PS client and the amount of people who started at 10am was astonishing. Especially given that some of the lazy feckers only lived a short walk away.

My current IB contract is the same, although I don't have the difficult manager.

In fact my "manager" does not even contact me about anything

You are under more Direction and Control than a submissive crack whore.
