    My best negotiation for payment terms was I quoted in Euros and they thought I was quoting in pounds

    Made an extra £50 a day or so on that one.

    Interesting times ahead... Very interesting.

    I'd say now is the best time to:
    - Buy Euros
    - Fill fuel tanks

    Paid in euros, expenses in UK. Suddenly you've got another 10% pay cut.
