I don't even get a Christmas card, let alone a pint!

How much have you made? Do you send them a card?

He probably refused to pay the bill until he'd got two references out of the poor sod

He was probably hoping you would leave your phone on the table while you went for a pee so he could dump your address book to his phone. Did he ask you about previous employment history at all?

Really he did.

Cost him a just over a tenner, really good value for him considering his company has made 3.5k+ in the last 3 months from my efforts.

So agents are cheapskates.

Lets face it, I got the rate I asked for, I'm happy.
