    I interpreted as him telling the poster who ask the dumb question to piss off.

                Number of Jobserve jobs seems to be high.

                Lots of agents asking about availability or do I know anyone available...
                merely at clientco for the entertainment

                  Been happening to me since beginning of year. Still with same client. Other contractors have gone back to old clients if there is a gap in projects.

                    With the current financial market turmoil and now widely expected rise in base rates to 6% next year, now seems a good time to make hay when the sun shines, relatively speaking.

                    An interesting analysis on Sky suggested a 6% interest rate would equate to 14% back in the late 80s, taking into account how households are much more indebted today with lower salaries relative to mortgages.

                    It seems that any sector which is heavily exposed to discretionary consumer spending and the housing market is going to take a significant hit. I've recently finished a gig in the hospitality industry and I fear for my client who has been planning a largescale expansion. Just about to start with a new client in the insurance sector so fingers crossed I can ride things out the next six months.

                      I think you need to be aiming to ride out the next year, IMO

                      I've managed to dodge downturns and recessions in the past. I'm less confident this time around.
