I wouldn't worry, if they were any good or had the balls they'd have got out before now. I would imagine 'ex public sector' looks bad on any cv, these people need their hands held to go to the loo FFS.

50 - for the rest of us to fight over.....

Every couple of days or so there's a new article on the CUK frontpage and its either IT and/or contracting is going down the pan or IT and/or contracting is reaching new heights. Each time different companies are quoted so really no bugger knows...
