    Not that it's our business but did you really say it's a £950/day contract and that you are new to contracting? What do you do?

      No he didn't. He said two days at $1900 but later clarified...

      The amount invoiced was relatively large because I worked for the majority of a weekend at additional rates. It is not my standard day rate by any stretch of the imagination (unfortunately) and it is money I can ill afford to lose.

        It's not, see above. Not that either aspect matters.

        Good luck OP.
        Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

            I think he clarified that this was for working long and/or antisocial hours at a premium rate on a weekend rather than his normal day rate.

                True. Maybe the mods can change the tag under his name to say "Permie Speak Detector".

                  That is a bit specific isn't it... Maybe a catch all tag like 'Miserable b'tard' would be more apt?
