      No. Maybe the end of next week.

            Ah well it is just funny money anyway. I took my cash to the BoE - the stuff which says "I promise to pay the bearer on demand the sum of" hoping for gold in exchange but they just told me to feck off.

              Just read a newspaper article by an american Dan Eric
              . THE BRITISH POUND:
              The United Kingdom either wisely or unwisely decided not to convert to the Euro. Only time will tell. At any rate, if you are alarmed at the rate the United States is taking on debt, the Brits have us beat in that department hands down. The British pound, I think, is one of the most vulnerable currencies out there. Faced with a housing bubble to match our own and then some, Britain is the pinnacle of the "Nanny States". Socialized to the fullest yet having a connected cronyist system that mirror's America's, is a recipe for social unrest disaster. The UK has their own major ongoing banking crisis and there is probably no cure but total default.

                What does he know - the pound is still up even after this announcement. The Bank of England has decided to print 25bln of the buggers and it's made it worth more. Why not print 250bln and make it worth a lot more
                Rule 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.

                I preferred version 1!
