    Unfortunately the odd rabbit or diseased deer is sometimes needed to ensure that the sandwich bag never empties.
    Or sometimes it's good to have a nibble on them to get you in the mood and frame of mind for that elephant?

        So I'm going through my job alert emails on Bank Holiday Monday, as you do.

        Here's one that's a great match, an email direct from the agency.

        So I try to apply using their web site.

                    Just tried again (it is Crapita, BTW) and it is still knackered. But there's a phone number on the job ad. I ring it - it is the client!!! I shall apply direct.

                    It is a permie and Crapita advertised it at "£60,000 - £60,000". Probably pays about £60k then.

                    Our client says: "£33,900 - £56,000". So they're probably thinking of paying about £44k.

                    So Crapita lied. What a surprise.
