Have just driven out to the office and well it is in a not so nice area plus the drive was a nightmare with nowhere to park. Looks like a lovely long train commute but hey. Will see as it is a job and will keep me out of mischief for a while so fingers crossed.Comment

I think so. I have reviewed their site. I have reviewed my CV just to jog my memory on previous contracts to the last one. I have read the job spec again. I know exactly where I am going. Think I am as ready as I can be!
Funny thing just happened. I got an email advertising the role and it is on £35 per day more than the agent said they were willing to pay. We never agreed a rate at all as he said we would confirm after the interview. Will have to see what happens and if they like me first.Comment

Thanks for all the advice as it has helped me get back into the right mindset.

Fsck them. You're better than them, or they wouldn't need you. Ergo, no need to be nervous
Alternatively, they're as good as you are and just need an extra body who's as good as them, in which case it's a pleasure to have the chance to chat to some people who know what you're on about. Again, no need to be nervous
Final possibility: they're way above you. Still, give it a go. It will probably turn out that they aren't (in which case see above), and if they are, well - nothing ventured, nothing gained. Even if you don't get the gig you'll learn some useful stuff about what such smart people think is important at the moment, so no need to be nervousComment
