    Everyone is different. I have periods where i go in all the time, others where i don’t go in for weeks. There are good and bad points to both. I can’t imagine what raising young kids needing school and nursery runs must have been like pre-covid for two people both commuting into the city.

    replied to Clarity Umbrella - what's going on?
    And to not have it in these circumstances i.e. unannounced ownership change, move to offshore, loss of FCSA accreditation, getting flamed on main IT contractor forum with virtually no response. I wouldn’t use them again based on this and as things stand wouldn’t be able to do my usual “try Clarity”...

    The £2k limit is insane. I just love it when governments offer incentives to behave in a certain way and then have a major crack down to stop the behaviour they have been encouraging....

    Good that it is being delayed until 2029 at least, maybe it gets binned before then. Very weird thing to be implementing just as you are trying to get re-elected mind!
