Apparently not. They are asking for government bailouts

It seems their biggest problem is that sites like RedTube and others "give it away for free"

I thought it was always going down.

Get mine while you're there.

Is that in your experience Richard?

Nah, they could point to using the popular americanism of the term 'guys' meaning both male and female.

You could state that they are in breach of the sexual discrimination act by explicitly asking for guys.

Mostly its BS to get your attention - have seen it happen when infra support was coming back in house and no-one from the supplier wanted to work in a gov organisation.

Finding this the hardest time I've had in contracting (5yrs) to look for jobs, and the crap agents spout never ceases to amaze me! Another few weeks and I'm thinking of taking a permy position for a year or two to ride it out - just be a nice break from the tossers!
