And, whilst we’re all in reminiscing mode, how about recalling some of the placement (I can't bring myself to use the word "recruitment") agencies from those days of yore?
Surely many must remember my old mate Paddy Earp (the aptly named Middle-Man)? But how about Raymond Whiteside, Grafton, ORS and er, Network? Once again, there were many. But are any of them still active, I wonder?
Does "ten per cent of the first year's salary" ring any bells?
