          What is the dumbest agent you've come up against.

          This is mine. First of all I live in Chester. This lass rung up and asked if I would commute to Manchester, I said no that was a bit too far (wasn't too desperate at that point). She then asked if I would commute to Surrey!!!!!! I said no, so she asked about Northern Ireland!!

          WTF?
          Isnt it a girlie thing this not having a clue about the layout of the UK? more importantly what does she look like ?

          BTW I have had my moments

            I'd say that was a very resourceful agent. First she suggested a reasonable commute, which you turned down. Then she offered you a chance to move out of the bleak depressed North West, into a more prosperous county. Ungratefully, you turned that down too. Finally, reasoning that you're a Scouser (or near enough), she offered you a contract in Northern Ireland where you'd almost certainly have relatives to stay with.

                  I believe the correct term is a "Plastic Scouser" or "plassie" to use the vernacular.

                      Hmmm - a plassie by choice?

                      Some are born unlucky, some choose it.
