    Not me, I think you've got me confused with another 6ft 8" ex Royal Marine who spends all day posting on an IT geek forum.

      Listen, I'll end up retiring on all your £100's.

          That's an extra 20%. If you don't like it, take your custom elsewhere, but I doubt you'll find anyone else who will indulge your square and compass routine for the same price (except possibly MP - MP, this is what I meant by the lower end of the market).

            How do you think the argument started between MP and CM?

              You can't just pop into MP's back door of an afternoon and then expect CM to just let you in the front door when you get home.



              Not without using some sort of plastic to cover your tracks anyway.

                Are you still flogging that gray list tulip.

                You don't need to worry about the black and gray lists. Its the agency white list you need your name on.

                On it that £300 a day contract approaches £400 and that £700 bank contract could become the grand a day you believe your worth.

                  there is no greylist or blacklist it is time consuming and anti-competitive for the agents to all be calling each other and saying oh don't use 'x,y,z' just like I wont immediately phone all my contractor mates whenever i come across a shyster or a bulltulip agent

                    Excellent. I've PM'd you. Please send me the details.

                      It certainly is anti-competitive. It's run out of a Dutch Antilles holding company to bring it outside of Data Protection legislation.
