How full is the bench?

[DaveB]

Before I took this permie role I was looking at the market and ended up thinking feck it, if I'm going to have to take a crap rate to get work I might as well get some bloody benefits to go with it. Current role works out at a shade under £300 day for an equivalent contract rate, plus pension, health care, training, paid holidays etc etc etc.

A guaranteed income for the forseable future in the current climate makes it worth while for me at least.

On a serious note, I wonder if the credit crunch has had an effect on the prostitute "sector"?

Not been on the bench that long have you?

The guys at the Nissan fatory would jump at £100 a day

I know.

And so would I if this gig ended in this current climate.

It was just the way he said it - as if he wouldn't consider it.

I think I'd be as nichey in the prozzie sector as I am in the IT sector

i think so - it depends how good you look. Was full of Eastern Europeans till last year and far east filth.

Room for a little one?

It's a BIG bench, but it's getting fuller all the time, it seems.

It could be worse - have you considered permiedom?

Not quite the same but it's been a long time since a felt confident enough to blow £300 in the local lap dance emporium.
