    PLan to be implemented. Need to wait another 4 weeks before making a call on the weather for the end of the year.

    If the weather is the same as last year then the estimate for sales is £50,000 over 4 weeks for what I have in mind, could clear £15-£20k profit for the month, or get stuck with a garage of snow shovels and sledges for a few years.

      I doubt you would be stuck with them for many years as some people expect it to get colder.

        Got a call from the pimp this morning to say I have been short listed with one other (who is £30 per day cheaper) and could I match his rate?

        I politely declined saying that my rate was made clear from the start.
        Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

          When they come crawling back, say that you've had a better offer paying £40 per day more and can they match it.

            Good man.

            I regularly get asked to reduce my rate as it's at the higher end & I always reply the same - 'I've already reduced it especially for you as I liked the client and it was a 100% match to my skills. If someone wants to do it cheaper that's up to them, but remember you get what you pay for'

              It's an agency hiring for a consultancy who have an end Client. So two sets of commission.

              I've not heard from the agency yet, but the consultancy just sent me a text saying it is good news and expect to hear from the agency soon.

                I guess some of those high-flying businessmen prefer a more mature rent boy.

                  Based on this information I definitely would be doing what OG said. It would serve the agency right.

                    Especially if you do have another offer. Didn't you have an interview today, Suity?

                      I did indeed. And I mentioned it.
