    An engineer that can't plan. Perhaps you should try out for manager?

      You can't even book yourself into proper hotel, how can you engineer anything?

        Nah I prefer to be productive.

        Anyway slandering banter aside off topic etc.

        The UK is seems to have got much more expensive and service quality seems to have reduced. You compare that with what I get where I am and the differences really start to show. It's going to be a slow long 10 years before the UK recovers.

          So to summarise, someone who claims to have rare skills had to come from another country and do some work for a client, BUT NOT ON EXPENSES

          Why would anyone do that unless they were:

          1) stupid
          or
          2) crapping themselves because they had cocked up previously
          or
          3) ???


          Doesn't compute.

          PS ATw do the necessary please.
          Hard Brexit now!

              You keep asking the questions I'll keep sending the invoices.

                I've got some questions but you'll need to fly over here first.

                  Heathrow is hardly a good example of Britain. Its designed to rip off tourists and those business men too stupid to drive 5 miles elsewhere.

                    Go on tell me, I want to know how much it would cost me to hire you for one mathematical project I've got in mind.
