Anyone with the word 'agent' or 'consultant' in their title
**As my old man used to say, "A consultant is someone who borrows your watch to tell you the time".**
I still can't see the value of Estate Agents either, now that the internet provides a far more powerful forum for buyers and sellers. Who needs a spotty oik in a cheap suit and spiky hair to show them round someone else's house?
And as for recruitment consultants... I daren't even start writing about them in case I end up breaking my keyboard. (I'm sure anyone who works in IT or something requiring really specific skill sets, will sypmathise).
The only 'agents' I'll forgive, are secret agents, as I've never knowingly met one, (and I don't plan on becoming a terrorist).
**That was when he was in senior management... Then he quit and became a management consultant...

Bloody immigrants
Coming over here, taking our jobs. Give me ONE good reason why Ali from Pakistan should get a job ahead of an INDIGENOUS (white) BRITISH WORKER and I'll ignore it out of hand because I'm almost literally too ignorant to use trousers.
