These cast in stone at the insistence of the client's HR department, apparently.

I've been told to allow silly clauses like the first one in as long as unenforceable clauses like the second are removed.
I've then recorded the agent stating "I don't care' when following a silly clause like the first one.

In the meantime I got another offer for £25 pd extra plus it's right in the centre of Bristol.
I did make it clear to the first agent that my accepting the offer was dependent on a successful review so looks like I have my get out clause
Happy days .

This'll be the first gig I've ever had where I'm required to wear a suit.
I quite like that in a way. This isn't going to be a place with Google style chillout zones & God forbid I have to do any pair programming at least I'll be bunking up with somebody who is well groomed.
Though, I guess wearing a suit is no guarantee that the owner is wearing clean cacks though

I hope you have the client details to drop them a polite email to tell them why you unfortunately can't work for them. Dropping in a few names of better agencies...
