        I like the idea of living in a place that is "only 3 hours journey from London Kings Cross" - that's like being in Reading, then....

            Nope they educate them and then send them here for that.
            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!

                They built two beautiful walls to keep the English riff raff out of Scotland.

                  I once had a user say "I have been in this bank for 38 years. There has been an IT department for 26 years. And they have never given me anything. Until the application you just made. And it was worth the wait."

                  There are some brilliant French coders. And some very very bad ones. They all have alot of flair. And rather interestingly at clientco both groups hate each other which causes me much amusement.

                      except a job. Banks without IT departments are not employing bankers any more, they are unable to because they have gone.

                      The price of computerisation is high; the price of not doing it is that the company folds.
