Don't worry after a few days everything will return to normal and you'll be able to sit down again.

There is no need for a black list. The white list is a guest list that grants you instant entry. It is that magic something that ensures agents ring you instantly a suitable contract appears.Originally posted by 2BIT View Postok well sign me quote/100 times please then sir - but surely for a white list to exist there would be a black list too otherwise it's just a list right?
Everyone else has to join the queue and hopes the bouncer (agent) firstly notices them and then agrees to talk to them.

After a couple of £100'ers your 'little back door' will be little no more.Originally posted by Old Greg View PostExcept, for £100, I can take anyone's name off using my little 'back door'.

You really are posh if that's your idea of the lower end of the market.Originally posted by Old Greg View PostThat's an extra 20%. If you don't like it, take your custom elsewhere, but I doubt you'll find anyone else who will indulge your square and compass routine for the same price (except possibly MP - MP, this is what I meant by the lower end of the market).

Your going to have to do better then that mate. The last time I looked your white list was a shade of brown flushing down the loo. A think a better name would be the toilet roll list.Originally posted by Old Greg View PostWe've already discussed the whitelist, and yes, I can get names on there, but it takes a little more than 100 quid. It requires quite a few details around areas of expertise etc.

You don't need to worry about the black and gray lists. Its the agency white list you need your name on.
On it that £300 a day contract approaches £400 and that £700 bank contract could become the grand a day you believe your worth.

It certainly is anti-competitive. It's run out of a Dutch Antilles holding company to bring it outside of Data Protection legislation.Originally posted by 2BIT View Postthere is no greylist or blacklist it is time consuming and anti-competitive for the agents to all be calling each other and saying oh don't use 'x,y,z' just like I wont immediately phone all my contractor mates whenever i come across a shyster or a bulltulip agent

You can't just pop into MP's back door of an afternoon and then expect CM to just let you in the front door when you get home.Originally posted by Churchill View PostHow do you think the argument started between MP and CM?

Not without using some sort of plastic to cover your tracks anyway.
