I was thinking more along the lines of a spread between safe foreign companies, even if there is little return aside from he original investment back. (Classic cars seems more like a punt to me). I'm a complete noob when it comes to the stock market though. Any advice at all?Originally posted by craig_m67 View PostComment

I think I might have lost about £200 (on £4k) in the last year and a half. Not sure how that compares with keeping that money in the bank and inflation."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

Yes. When I started here I was on 400 GBP a day which was 656 chf - crap for Geneva and why I found the first 3 months difficult. So I got the rate upped to 850. Now the pound has fallen through the floor. At the rate on the beeb site I'm on 513 GBP (before tax sadly) and rising!Originally posted by BlasterBates View PostRule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

Good for me too. and Chef and any others in Euro land. My rate 67 euro per hour. That was about 45 quid when I started nearer 60 now. Cant wait for parity or better. What I would like to see is a pound worth 1 cent.Originally posted by TonyEnglish View PostI am not qualified to give the above advice!

Will do - at the moment my day rate is going up by a couple of quid per day. This time last year it bombed down to 1.52 chf to the pound. Still has some way to go before it hits those sort of levels.
