Poyle, near Slough. Over the last ten years I've had three contracts there in completely unrelated companies in the same half mile strech of road. (The first was a permie job, but I did a couple of single-day contracts there after leaving.)Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

Unfortunate because it's grey, bland and lacking in character or any endearing qualities (that would be my guess).Oh, I’m sorry….I seem to be lost. I was looking for the sane side of town. I’d ask you for directions, but I have a feeling you’ve never been there and I’d be wasting my time.Comment
