    I did once get a start date that was postponed by a week.

    Why did you sign a contract with no start date?

      Because I'd gone through all their security checks and they said it should be end of March start.
      But that became the beginning of April, And now it's looking like mid to End of April!
      I've started looking about as I cant afford any more bench time

          Back on track; lesson learned. Been there done that, opportunity cost of approx. £10k as I'd turned another contract down.

            Even agent says he understands if I want to look else where.
            Means agents knows theres very little chance if it happening and hes almost given up!

              Agent called me just to apologise and say the contract has been cancelled as the Suppler "jumped the gun" in signing the contractors before they had the budget agreed with the end client.

                Bank? Begins with a letter early in the alphabet?

                  Correct. Bank starts with the second letter of the alphabet.
