    Regardless though - your contract is a legal document. Your client cannot simply terminate it on the spur of the moment for no reason. They can issue you notice and say there's no work, or they can march you out if YOU have broken the contract.

    If they do things in the wrong way they could be legally liable, just as you could be if you simply didn't come in rather than exercising your MOO clause.
    As I said this scenario has happened to me a couple of times.

    On one they gave and let me work the notice.
    On the other told at lunch time, told to be offsite by the end of the working day.

    If OP gets notice pay I'll give you the same amount.

    Potentially he can hit the agency for notice pay, depends on the terms.

    I cannot get size 11-14 socks in M&S in Wales. They have to be ordered in. All the welsh are too short so have small willies.

    Actually, that was the bit I forget to give, in my instructions to the OP.

    Hope he doesn't get a right pasting

    So you got what you went in for? And possibly even faster than you'd hoped, presumably you have a reasonable war-chest after three years and something to go to in a month or so (hence you wanted to give notice?) so you now have Christmas with the family.

    Send the director a bottle of scotch to thank him.
