I'm not fully understandng this discussion.

Train season tickets can be returned for a refund.

Ok, so you lose something, but nowhere near not the whole lot.

Precisely, things just don't smell right. Doubt we'll get a staight answer though. Probably more abuse.

You're both assuming I didn't also get the rail ticket refunded. After all I had lost a week's potential billing.

I also refunded the car parking, but since they charge a £45 handling fee, that wasn't exactly a zero-sum transaction either.

As for the programme being cancellable, it wasn't: since it was a major corporate upgrade, it's still going on and will be for another year or so. What happened was a partner decided he wanted to be in charge so moved the ownership, deleted the original funding stream and put his own people in charge. Petty corporate politics at its best, nothing to do with good business practice.

Were you starting the gig in the afternoon then?

Sudden Gig Cancellation (SGC) is another contracting risk. Clauses in the contract allow no notice cancellation of gigs for any reason if they have not already started. Another reason one should not celebrate until you are actually on site and working. Personally, even after I accept an offer, I do not cancel interviews and keep applying for gigs right up until I'm on site for this very reason - and the fact that something better may come up.

Personally, I wait until the first invoice is in the bank, then crack open a bottle of bubbly.

To be safe, hold off celebrating for 7 years, after which one should be free from tax investigation.

I'm not assuming anything. I was responding to that which you wrote, hence my comment about not understanding the conversation.

Still no contact from pimp , Guess that`s that then.

[shelby68]

Sounds to me if the pimp is trying to find people who will work for a lower rate.

I'm half inclined to agree, I had an interview sorted a rate then the agency told me the rate has been dropped 50 quid a day by the client ...yea right. if I'm still interested.... no thanks
