The New financial Year Has Began

[Gonzo]

Is the April 5/6 tax year something very English, or is it used in EU/USA also? Just wondering if I should be looking for clients abroad flush with a new budget...

Very English - most other places have 31/12 year ends, IIRC

The tax year end in Australia is 30th June, in New Zealand it is 31st March.

Very British, actually. Comes from when the official year started at the start of Spring, = the First Point of Aries, as the astronomical and indeed astrological years still do. Then the Julian-Gregorian calendar change pushed it forward to 6 April.

Er there is a lot of people.

(You'd have been correct if it had read "there are lots of people", i.e. more than one lot.)

I only posted because someone pointed out that everyone is being nitpicky today,
and if you can't beat 'em join 'em.

Happy new year!!
Roll on those jobs, let us all sing and rejoice our Annus horribilis has come to an end and we can look forward with renewed vigour...

I'm due to be benched in 4 weeks if any clienco's require a project manager.

jobserve has briefly hit 24000 ads today, highest I've seen for a long time, not that it means anything.

Good idea but seems to just be a portal onto the existing Technojobs site.
