        I worked for Citizen's Advice as a volunteer until the contracting got in the way. Very rewarding work and to be recommended if you have the time.

          Question to all: which would you rather give away, an hour of your time or an hour of your rate?
          An hour of your time or a fiver which ever is more.

          So it be will be a fiver then.
          What happens in General, stays in General.
          You know what they say about assumptions!

            Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

Wonder what the big name bands and artists got paid, so much for a charity gig.
                  There's money in helping the starving....look at how much Geldof is worth - a tulipload more than the other Boomtown Rats!!
                  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!
