I got a calendar several years running from a few agents. I treasured them.

When you say "treasured" I assume you mean "binned"?

Simple's, they won't pay it, whose ever heard of anyone getting a referral fee from an agent for introducing a contractor?

I got a free diary at Xmas of contracting year 1, i.e. 2007.

Since then I have had a couple of coffees.

Do people really believe this? Has anyone ever got a freebie for an agent ?

A rather nice meal + a few drinks at decent restuarant in Manchester from probably the only decent pimp I've gigged through (2 occasions).

Took a while to get it out of them, mind.

And a cake.
