      We're seen as mainly experimental at the moment. But you're right, I need to improve my political skills.

              If you want this kind of information a good idea is to phone round a number of Contractors on your books and pretend you've got a few contracts on the go. Then, casually, drift the conversation onto some of their previous roles, who the key players were, what suppliers and agencies they use, what they are upto at the moment etc. You could even try the old "did you work for Dave Smith .. no .. who did you work for then" trick - your average dumbass contractor won't spot what you're up to.

              If you're really lazy, try the old fake vague job on Jobserve trick. The desperate litle scrotes will come running.

              Finally, you could try registering with rival Agencies under an assumed name and pump their Agents for what PSLs they are on.

              There's food for thought eh?
