Really?

Wonder if he's a contractor?

Half century up ...

Excellent - four more pledges (Boobetty, badabr, NotAmused, shevlane) yesterday afternoon takes us to 51 in total with 4 more possible - all within the first seven days.

And - ball*cks - think I might have been less than "dangerous" when I made that little enticement - but I'll stand by it.

BTW1 - "we've gained a day" - yep, I miscounted - please, please don't tell my boss - I'm supposed to be a numerate SME (sic) ...

BTW2 - "Ship and Shovell" is one of my lunch-time locals - I work in the Strand on this contract - not sure about the beer, but it's the only pub I know on two sides of the street.

Certainly a pub with a split personality.

I like the Chandos as well. they have some interesting beers.

Our office is in Pall Mall and I walk to/from waterloo so all these places are good.

I would like to join, but I am not sure it will assist me too much as come the end of June I expect a hefty bill from HMRC that I cannot pay.

More reason to join! I already have a hefty bill that I can't afford. We all need to fight this. And look at it this way, if you can't afford to pay the impending bill, what do you have to lose by joining a group to fight it?

You are spot on, I will join in. I was holding out some vain hope that this action may delay the payment notices Silly I know.

If you want to PM me I can look at the APN and see if something might be done to delay matters.

I emphasise it is delay, not solve.

I know how you feel. The way I look at it now is that we have all been screwed over. We can't stop the screw from turning but can maybe prevent it going the whole way.

Medical contractors

A lot of people in the medical profession are contractors.

I can't imagine that they are any more prepared for the ventilation/manure interface than any other group but....

The public has a lot of sympathy for this sector.

Stories about nurses being forced into bankruptcy or highly qualified doctors/dentists going bust would be useful and this area is one in which I think BIG GROUP should focus on building numbers.

I agree! But surely we won't meet them on Contractor UK... How could we reach out to the non-IT sectors?
