    but just to add - that piece of recruiter advice is rubbish folks!

      It happens all the time on the CUK "news" pages. The IR35 insurance will be peddled next, with long quotes from the people who punt it.

        Hmmm... "Computer People recently voted Best Agency by Contractor UK readers"(does anyone actually remember voting on this?)

        and now front page CUK access to peddle the most outrageous bollux ever ... something very fishy going on
        How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

                  I don't know, the bottom of the list is fiercely fought for. Any of the S3 group, for example.

                    Nick Dettmar, managing director of Computer People advises contractors to provide references.

                    In other news, turkeys suggest a cancellation of Christmas this year.
                    The cheek and audacity of this beggars belief. They left out that contractors who find their own direct contracts should call computer people and ask thathey run the contract for a 30% margin

                      I have a common goal with the little spring lambs that live in a field just down the road from me.
                      I want them to be fit, healthy, well fed and watered. I want them to be happy, I will even be nice to them. I would even give them little lamby bits of advice if they asked me. I just love those little suckers
