Contractors that live further afield are getting 2 days WFH. Just 20 minutes across the levels for me so 5 days on site is no skin off my nose.

What stopped them taking it?

Not the best rate I've been on but only a 20 minute drive for me which makes it my shortest ever commute for a contract.

A no brainer really.

Ha, I got put forward for that role but they delayed interviewing too long and I went elsewhere.

Only when you weren't needing a drink!

Actually it was in Yorkshire so I don't think anyone bought a drink. Tap water all night....
