To be brutally honest the more time I spend on these forums the more I think there are many contractors who are either not as good as they imagine themselves to be or worth a lot less than they imagine themselves to be. The result of either of these things is bench time. And rightly so.
Of course there will be exceptions but if someone is sitting on the bench for 12 months demanding £700 p/d and turning his nose up at £550 p/d all the while he deserves everything he gets.I'm a smug bastard.Comment
