Ridiculous claims in job adverts:

£18000 - £69000 per annum

Hmmm. I wonder how much of that is a spurious claim of OTE and therefore which end of the spectrum the candidate will end up on? And I wonder who can really say they are flexible to the tune of £51,000 when looking at the salary brackets they prefer? I mean what do they say at interview - "Yeah, I'd prefer the £69k, but if need be I don't mind dropping over fifty thousand pounds to just £18k. If the role's the right one, y'know."
