Well, at least they can strike in the proper manner (and not go shopping).

Actually there was quite a lot doing in the UK at the end of the last quater in my sector. Aren't you worried about the euro losing value with all the issues going on at the moment? Personally I still have a mortgage in the UK. So being told that my rate is not much better than 500 a day at home, with all the French tax laws to contend with and currency fluctuations on top. that seems very risky.

Good luck

I've also a mortgage to cover and a rented base in London. I found the market very quiet recently so had to look outside the UK.

An odd reply from BP with 50,000+ posts. When did I ever mention saving the eurozone?

All your posts are odd so I thought I would reply in kind.

I actually like the French. Its good to have someone to feel superior to.

Why put a man down who's busting a gut to find work?

Thanks for that - I've been out of contract for a few months. Now at least I can enjoy Christmas and treat my family.

Works for me. A 600 euro day rate is fine. Ask the client when I've delivered and added value - think they will think you're the twunt.

Yeah seems rates are quite a bit lower in Europe plus loads of extra cost, I've considered it but plenty for me here, my only costs are my £200 season ticket.

One thing to watch: a colleague of mine was all set for a gig in Paris, signed and sealed - ended up it suddenly disappeared due to French labour laws, which seem to totally piss on EU rights if there's a French bloke without a job waiting in the wings, ability to do the job not required...

If anyone else wants to have a pop - feel free.
I'm just a hard working contractor with a family, now looking forward to Christmas.
