      I like to build up as much speed as possible in France so that by the time I hit Belgium I have enough momentum to carry me all the way through to Germany without stopping.
      Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

          I wouldn't bother. The market is dead as a dodo, the rates are crap, the lifestyle is really tulip, everything is really expensive, the Germans won't like you and its one less gig for me!
          Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

            The worst road side services I have ever encountered were located on the Autoroute at Belgium/Netherlands border on our way to Bremen.

            Looked like a coldwar bunker, in the middle of a blast zone. It was dark, grubby and nasty. Cracked formica tables, plastic chairs and sod all food. We walked in, used the loo's and ran like hell.

              If you do it right you can use the black hole that is Brussels to catapult you the rest of the way like they did using the sun in Start Trek 4.

                the shops don't close early on Saturday anymore, all shops are open until 5:30 pm, most large shops and supermarkets are open until 8:00pm and the big supermarkets are open until 10:00 pm.
                I'm alright Jack

                  Sounds like a good idea - they say the Germans are screaming out for IT folk - top rates and contracts that last for years.

                    Tell that to the folk round here. It depends on the city and region.

                      If you pay a deposit on an apartment, don't expect it back.
