Listen! for £330 a day I'll take the blame.

As long as I can work from home and they don't expect productivity

Just make sure you have plenty of PI insurance

Just make sure you have plenty of PI insurance

If these people are who I think they are, £330/day won't even cover the liability premium.

German sounding multiple word name. Mum's the word
