I'm not finding that at all, but it depends on skills I suppose. My skills put me in for big expensive projects, especially new implementations. They're not going so well ATM. -

I agree with Nomadd and I tend to take that approach. You can always tell the agents who have an unsuitable role on a poor rate as they tend to get off the phone pretty quick sharpish once they find out you have enough money to really no be to bothered taking a poor contract.
I must admit though I have been lucky in that the current contract has lasted a year and I have just had a renewal for three months, so thats another three months into the 'recovery'

My local market is really good at the moment, picked up some fine apricots and cherries at a bargain price earlier in the week- should easily see us through the weekend.
