    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.

    Everyone else has to join the queue and hopes the bouncer (agent) firstly notices them and then agrees to talk to them.

    You really are posh if that's your idea of 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.

    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.

    Excellent. I've PM'd you. Please send me the details.

    About time someone broke OG's monopoly. You two haven't been discussing soap powder though have you?

    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.



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