Enough to make it damned attractive to the client...

I find saving the client money is a better incentive than bad personal habits or uncleanliness.

Sitting on the table licking my balls, sniffing the secretary’s crotch and pissing on the office topiary just didn't work...

None.

The bank Im working with is actuvely moving people from fixed desk positions to working from home more (with all the flexibility that brings).

100% "home" for me for the last 2 years... long may it continue. Just need to find some more project work before the money runs out

Except that 'Bungleore' is not in the same time zone and people just can't pop in for a chat or a meeting etc.

I have worked mostly from home for the past 11 years (nice barn conversion in Oxfordshire).

Maybe go to client sites once a fortnight. But then I am truly "in business on my own account" unlike most contractor pseudo-permies who are shackeld to their "employer's" desks.

I have no use for you and your like DA.

no way.

they should pay you more for working at home.

you will be more productive. less tulip to deal with like ducking swipes from technical architects.

Actually, never had a problem with clients paying same rate - except I charge expenses if they want me on site (mileage, accom, food etc. - within reason).
