      It's Norfolk so the applicants will be able to count how many £K they are paid on their fingers.

              I was once sent a dev role where they were offering £80/day, I respectfully replied to the agent that I could probably earn more stacking shelves at B&Q. He seemed to sympathise with this but said his hands were tied as it was the ClientCo that were offering such a pittance.

                    Leeds hookers are cheaper than that, if you are talking hourly rate.
