Nope, unless you opt out of the European Working Time Directive.

Thinking about it, this is the sort of piss-taking advert that deserves to have the piss taken right back. I can only hope that public-spirited people (who may have some time on their hands right about now) will submit cvs that match said job spec and waste the agents time on the phone by pretending they may be interested.
