So they lied about the Sparks being off sick, what a stand up company!
They didnt lie about the sparks being off sick. The sparks signed off sick and then jacked after the xmas holidays. He was messing the company about. They tend to use local one-man businesses, contractors anyway. Its a buyers market, I reckon the sparks got a better, higher paid contract somewhere else, moved on and messed the company about.
