    What you don't do is take the job. agree to do the work at that rate and then rip off the employer.
    I hear you, but it's much easier to be ethical and punctual when being paid a lot of wonga

      It's still gaining monies by false representation (theft)

              I had a mate who looked like a quasimodo stunt double and he would walk past a dolly bird in a pub and drop his phone number on the table. He said, 'statistically, one day , one of them will pick it up , give me a call and wham bam'
              So I told him to go up to the roof, jump off and flap his arms around. 'Statistically, one day, you will fly'

              start flapping Alexi

                I could have done a blog on the incidents that happened when I ran the agency!

                Cleaner getting drunk on the client's booze and throwing up on the sofa - blamed the client for NOT having the booze under lock and key!!! WTF!!

                Client married their cleaner - I did try to continue getting paid for her services to him but he wouldn't wear it!!

                Numbers please? How much did you charge out for and how much did you pay the staff?
                What happens in General, stays in General.
                You know what they say about assumptions!

                  Agency fee - £2.95 per hour (cleaner mgt, ins etc)

                    I had an aussie friend who'd wait until fairly late in the evenings, at pubs, and simply put a rude proposition on the table to whoever took his fancy. He got laid more than he got slapped. Said it was a simple matter of getting ti out there, as there was always someone who would say yes.


                    Never tried it out.
