        Unless you’re just being racist of course.

          Can you get a bit pregnant?

            no.

            There's a difference between using a throwaway stereotype to suggest that all Glaswegians are drunk, and murdering 6 million Jews.
            So yes, you can be a bit racist.

              As mentioned earlier....there is quite a lot of finance work in Scotland, particularly in Edinburgh. I don't even bother looking at London these days when I can get a similar rate in Edinburgh without the stupid costs to rent some pokey little flat, cheaper beer and a more pleasant city to be in. Commuting is far cheaper as I can drive to Edinburgh quite easily and not have to rely on stupidly expensive trains.
              Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

              I preferred version 1!

                You were doing so well, right up to that point.
                Unless you're using the park and ride schemes?

                  No - rent a flat/serviced appartment with parking. Pretty simple. Where I live in Rochdale, without even tanking along its generally 3.5 hours door to door

                    I'd be getting out of Rochdale a damn site quicker than that!

                      Is this where I can accuse the scots of having a complete sense of humour failure.

                      Or was it just because the comments were a bit to close to home?

                      any way either way stop fookin whinging.
