    Two areas I wouldn't work...public sector and life critical systems. Fixed Y2k bugs at Js and C&W, reverting back to COBOL coding PITA, but at £1k a day, I wasn't going to complain too much. I can't wait for the Y3k bug

      I am stuck in London 'coz my mum is due to pop her clogs very soon. (Went to see her on Tueday after having a break since Thursday - quite a change). I've also got some other stuff that is going to keep me here for most of the rest of the year though.

              Can't get me!!!


              No clients in the UK, no expenses in the UK.
              No money flows through the UK.
              I am officially non-resident in the UK.

              My 91 days are uneffected (confirmed by accountant) because of personal reasons.

                Under the provisions of IR666 you would be deemed to be Domiciled in the UK and therefore subject to taxation of all your estate and finally subject to an iron coffin with spikes in the inside.

                Just joking , good luck Pete !
