No work from home either and this is a mid/senior level dev job. The perm mindset is so hierarchic it is sickening.
    Have a wank at the desk at 9am. When they ask why are you doing it, tell them you have to do your 9am wank at work because their strict working hours.

    Exactly. The agent is looking to filter out CVs. The OP needs to get through the filter and explore this with the employer once they are convinced that the OP is the right candidate.

    Turn up on time, when manager meets you ask if you can use the loo

    Go to the loo, but sneak out of the building and leave them wondering where you are

    You wonder why the company has the vacancy?

    Turn down the role stating clearly why, and interview elsewhere if flexiblity is important to you.
