    This sort of thing annoys me

    http://www.acenet.co.uk/index.cfm?fu...tem=506&page=4

    Let me ask two questions:

    1. If there were no recruitment agencies then would this mean that there would be enough engineers to go round?
    2. If someone leaves a job after 3 months is it really because of the recruitment agency?

    We may all be scumbags and shysters but we are here because that is how the market wants us.

    Must be something wrong with your opinion poll.

    The last straw-pole I ran wanted you all hung up by the bollocks.

    Still, you can say what you want with statistics these days...

          That may be true. If we are and you dont like it (the clients I mean) then dont feckiing use us. If agents are earning good money by being dodgy bast***s then their () behaviour must be acceptable.

              The UK would still be short of 20,000 engineers and there would be no one to hate. A vacuum that would I wager soon be filled by contractors.

                Are you trying to suggest that Dodgy weighs the same as a duck?

                  I'll take the chance if we can burn you all.

                    No, he's too fat - bloated on the blood and bones of poor defenceless contractors.
