As a contractor I created a very large cushion for myself this year for 2009 so I have the opp to sit out all of 2009 if need be. I would not obv want to do that - but I also couldn't take a job like that and bugger off the next month.

Does that make sense? Prob not!
£65K is excellent.Think twice before dismissing the idea. Being in work beats the bench every time. Good luck.

I guess that's why we are all here hey? I thought from reading your posts this was common amongst the contractor club?

Nope - he had 2 phone interviews and 3 face to faces over 3 weeks. That is the unbelievable part.
