You might want to mention that to some large construction firms then, on a certain recent road scheme most of the agency guys seemed to be making around half as much as the 'normal' employees, not so much on their basic wages (though they were significantly lower) but on all the additional allowances - one of the foremen I was talking to, who was agency, was taking home around ?200/week less than the guy immediately below him!
