In my day they would call you and say, so you are working at company X , is Dave Grump still the line manager ?

The answer to this should always be "Yeh, he is".

When they ask for my manager or contact I usually give them the name and mobile number of another pimp.

My current boss hates agents... every now and then one manages to get through to him by claiming to be something else, and he tears them to shreds. It's quite amusing as the office gathers round to watch him as he vents all his pent up anger (about everything) on the nonce on the other end of the line. They never call twice.

MBA...you know who you are!

How Very, Very dare you!!!

To which the unwary contractor would reply, no its not Dave Grump, its Pete Miserable, at which point an evil laugh would resound and the call would abruptly end.
