And the reason they wish to 'waste their money' using an agency is because it is completely the opposite and saves them money. Less admin costs for payrolling etc... and less staff costs for recruitment.

Hey ho, I could probably do with some me time in June anyway...problem is it'll be longer than just June ATM, right?!

I say not but what do you guys reckon?
