Free bar to me is any time the clientco put their credit card behind it. That way I don't need to ask for receipts.

You claim alcohol on company ?

NLUK? Bolshie? Heard that?

I've expensed 2 bottles of champagne and plenty of other drinks to a consultancy I have done time for before.
They had no problem as the end client was happy to sign off.

Not a mainland UK based client, obviously, they would be too damn tight.

FTFY.

A real contractor never goes for free stuff

True. I'd rather buy my own than drink the filth the client would pay for.

Sometimes you have to guide the client to your way of thinking, all part of the, end to end, service

The Wife(tm)'s last car was a Honda CRV. 4wd petrol. Drank the fuel like a contractor at a free bar (24mpg on long runs). Couldn't pull teeth. Needed a new battery every other year. We bought it when it was 2 years old. Had more issues in 4 years of Honda ownership than 8 years of me driving Alfas.

My last car was a CRV (05), bought a demonstrator and ran it for 10 years 120K miles, only ever replaced tyres and brakes. Same battery etc, nothing else just servicing. Utterly reliable, although it was thirsty.

It replaced a Civic Coupe, which also ran faultlessly for 10 years, and this year I have just replaced the CRV with a Civic (a lot less thirsty).

Well if you have had so much sucess with Honda's and like them, is an Accord Estate not an option? Sure they are a little bland but the boot is huge and they are pretty reliable.

Who's gonna look after this **** off massive dog whilst you are at work?

You can't leave it all alone all day whilst you work. That is so cruel to dogs, they are pack animals.

Wow, she's hesitating over a Volvo because of it's image.

Am I? News to me.

My father looks after my son, and is home all day. I wouldn't dream of considering a dog otherwise, but thanks for your sanctimonious reply anyway, nobhead.
