Think they called themselves gov.uk or something. I said your going to want a fee i suppose? he said "well we are not a charity!" I lost interest in the converation rather rapidly.

They are a right pain in the backside wont leave me alone. Their sales pitch is misleading to - making out they have the work waiting to be done what what they actually have is some tender notices (that you can get free anyway eg Public tenders.net). This kind of thing really annoys me  >:( >:( >:(
