 Thinking of taking a ridiculously low local contact...How to get best out of ...
 
 Ah, I've worked it out.
 
 This "low contract" is with Vodafone.
 Comes with 1GB of data and is only £16 a month.

 What do you think I was basing my comment on?Originally posted by SimonMac View PostWould back up my experience, was a good place to work (would not be a permie there as they are permanently doing a re-org), the rate was crap (I managed to get in Leeds what they were offering in Newbury) if it wasn't local I wouldn't have taken it.

 Not sure I would call them a good client and they are definitely one who watch every single penny so you won't get a rate rise and as soon as the contract is over or anything changes you will be out the door.....

He's already been given this advice.Originally posted by washed up contractor View PostDarren, ignore the trolls like sueellen, northernladuk and northernladyuk (the last two names especially should tell you all you need to know), why not try giving Vodaphone offices a bell and ask them?
 
 Ive done this in the past with a couple of places and while they only gave general info, they did confirm if I could park on site or not.
