    Shhhhh MP, They're sleeping and we don't want to wake them. They look so peaceful in their matching onesies. In fact the only way I can tell them apart is the S, F & M they have embroidered on the front.

    They all had a long day yesterday. Leave them be.

      Mate of mine did a gig in Nigeria a while back where they were all paid in cash each week.

      Management and security would come round with a briefcase of US$ on a Friday afternoon for each contractor.

        I did a contract at the DHSS (which shows how long ago that was!) where I was paid by the agency with a cheque, weekly. Straight to the bank, cash it in and Bob's your uncle. I also did one here in Germany and the company, although German, had registered its offices as an LLC in Las Vegas so each month I used to get a cheque drawn on a Las Vegas bank. My bank manager thought I spent my time gambling!
        Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
