Are they different to agency then, or just normal agency minus the punctuation?

He said ageny, not agency - must be something to do with his age
Many years ago I did agency for a company. They gave me a set of keys some paperwork and told to get on with it. I got back to the yard at the end of the day with a small bag that I couldn’t work out where it should have gone. The bloke walked round the back of the lorry and stood looking. I asked what was the problem. He said the normal driver took two days to do that lot normally. He offered me a job. I declined but felt good

Agency screwing up a good number for a full timer again
I got hassled by a group of drivers at a place years ago, because I was making the full timers look bad. They actually asked me to slow down. Guess my answer. Paid for 8 hours minimum, even when it took me 3 hours to do my “round.”
What a hero.
Had the prick told me it was two days work I wouldn’t have done it. I was 22 and keen at the time

What a hero.
Yes a hero indeed. I was very close to swooning.

No I think he meant class
eagerbeaver:
I could forgive them if they chose a more up market carrier bag.
waitrose,[any good]
Yep. That would be much better.
And maybe treat themselves to a haircut for their birthday.

A proper one though. Not one where a proper employable driver can say " Hey agency driver! When are you going to get that haircut finished?"
I know the style you mean Contra.
The sort associated with being close with your Sister, and playing the banjo.

You’re just mad they do the jump better than you can!

Anybody can race around with a Lidl carrier bag carving jobs up. It’s not hard.
At my place, years and years of slowly but surely reducing the workload to a level where sometimes it’s a struggle to get eight hours in has resulted in what one could call “a right cushy number”.
If an agency driver came to us and tried to [zb] up all those years of hard skiving, at best, he’d be limping away with two limps. At worst, he’d be found in a hedge bottom with his Lidl carrier bag taped around his head.

Found someone new to try and wind up?
