        So let's all go abroad. But where?
        I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

          "ONE in five Britons — nearly 10m adults — is considering leaving the country amid growing disillusionment over the failure of political parties to deliver tax cuts, according to a new poll. ",


          Last one, switch out the light.

          Milan.
          I don't even remember what umbrella companies charge, £14-£25 a week + tax upto %40. If I get enough to buy a castle in scotland and a buggatti veyron, then I will stay. If I am going to die in a council flat living here, I will move to france and join foreign legion. End of story.

            You must be mistaken. From the same article:
            The Treasury dismissed the report, saying the average household is £950 per year better off in real terms than they were in 1997.

            A spokesman said: "According to the independent Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the net tax burden on the average working family in the UK has been halved since this Government came to power."

                  I remember the good old days of this site when people used to moan about serious contractor related issues like house prices and immigration. How times have changed!?
