    Its wales. Just look at the typical specification of a contract in wales and you know all sane contractors will run a mile.

        Try and find someone else to take your place on the course. It's free training isnt it. Bound to be someone who'll want it.
        Yep. Thought of that. No can do because the course is funded on an individual basis.

        And just found out they expect me to sign in to the course every day so they know if I dont show up !!!

          Just asking because perhaps you might be able to attend the course but leave early each day and do a couple of hours with the client. I'll probably be stoned for saying this, but you might even offer that service gratis as a sign of good will. If the client wasn't happy with this, I'd say they were being very unreasonable and you're probably better off not working with them.
          Bristol - London so a bit far. But good idea.

            This is true but the contract is in Bristol. International commuting!

                While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                      Rats, this *is* in General.

                      Note to the OP, if you want sensible answers don't post in the bear pit that is known as General. Go over to Business/Contracts.

                      At least I didn't give out warnings or infractions - that *would* have been embarrassing...

                      Still - play nice...
