Might have something to do with a better offer round the corner

I know they pulled the previous candidate from the role for taking too long - and to be honest, I'm not interested if people are going to push like that...

The agency's attitude really stinks, but why are you stalling anyway? You haven't said... A better offer is perhaps round the corner?

I have an offer on the table from an agent - just can through this morning. They are saying that if I don't give an answer by lunch they will retract the offer.

Is this possible (or legal)???

I think you should call their bluff though... it's probaly the agent playing silly buggers. Do not respond in anyway, turn your phone off and see who's bluffing
