    I have temporary lodgings in the fine Hanseatic town of Haarlem, renowned for perhaps the greatest choice of fine restaurants in the Netherlands, with the possible exception of Maastricht. 600 euros a day in one of Europe’s leading culinary cities is a life many others would envy!

      Just had 'Winter' on the phone (well not Winter but another seasonal agent)...


      Role : Finance in Cheshire...

      She says I'm right for the role except. ahem, the role's a bit low...

      I say - Low, how low?

      She says she's too embarassed to say...

      I say - Cheshire, finance - it must be Barc**** - so it must be really low.

      She laughs

      I say - my rate minus £175?

      She says come on it is Barc****!!

      I told her, I've enjoyed our conversation and then wished her a good weekend.

      It comes to something when the agents are so embarassed with the rates...


      How we laughed...

        I love those jobserve adverts where the agents highlights the rate with words like, "Please note the rate quoted".

          Or when they say "Depending on experience"..... and then when you give your rate they say - "We are getting people asking 1/2 that rate......"

          Thats because they haven't got any 'kin EXPERIENCE - Does the role need experience or can it be done by a 'kin Numpty like SAS?
          If its a Numpty role then tell me and don't waste my 'kin time.... you will not get an experienced guy/girl at that rate... FFS
