Mentioned it to my client contact and he said not to worry as it was to much of a hassle to correct it... that what I called getting a paid break
    After sitting and thinking for a while I have come to the conclusion ...

    ... the client is an incompetent fool who deserves to get ripped off. And the agency is not much better.

    So the agency paid an invoice without matching signed timesheets? Fools.

    So the client paid the agency's bill without matching signed timesheets? Fools.

    Had you done it on purpose I would have said very bad things at you. Since you came clean you're a good chap. And a very, very jammy bugger for getting to keep the dosh!

      You'll have to arrange a 2-month break to Australia and try the trick again...
