Thanks guys.
A little bit of controversial comment from me, but it got a few more, informative, posts.
My apologies to those legitimate persons/groups that I may have offended.

I am in the second category. I am (speculatively) looking for a job. grass is greener etc. However, I am cautious about paying without knowing a little more. These days, it is too easy to charge people and return a poor service. Or provide no service at all! ( I do not imply that flightdeck recruitment do so)
At the end of the day, if any of us found a good job and the cost was £50, but the rewards excellent, then that would be £50 well spent.
On the other hand, if we paid £50 and got nothing I would hope that this would be considered a bad thing.
Not to mention the 20 pints of guinness that could have been bought instead.
