If our rates remain the same at renewal time then that is in fact a reduction!
Though, I did just negotiate an increase!Comment

I've just been renewed, thank Christ, on £20 per day more, but the bad news is I have to commute to Brentwood instead of Romford, which is several miles further to travel and apparently it's a sod to park in the town centre.
If the market wasn't so tulip, I'd be looking around for another perl or .Net contract, but needs must.Comment

Eeyore was very glad to be able to stop thinking for a little, in order to say "How do you do" in a gloomy manner to Pooh.
"And how are you?" said Winnie-the-Pooh.
Eeyore shook his head from side to side. "Not very how," he said. "I don't seem to felt at all how for a long time."Comment
