    oh, wait, - not for such a lofty position, sorry

    Only if you want to know the salary of a stable hand.

    Maybe he knows what his missus earns as well?

    Just a little advice, those large buttons to the left and right of the alphabetical characters, the ones with an up arrow on them, the enable the use of "CAPITAL LETTERS", they're great for things like "I" rather than "i", they help create the impression that you're not an ill educated buffoon.

    For real info regarding Portugal, I suggest you contact the Metropolitan Police, they seem to spend a lot of time out there.

    Somewhat more than sasguru's best ever day rate, and somewhat less than the price of a salted cod.

    I think you are looking at around 20 figs per day. Depends on the agency commission. Because of the rough terrain many clients will actually provide donkey transport. This is a big IR35 no, no.

    It's often better and more tax efficient to train up 12 local chickens and have them pull a small scooter to your clients workplace. Added benefit, you can eat the chicken.

    You may be asked to pay into a kitty each month, to help purchase a local prostitute for a monthly knees up. Try to get a receipt with your company name on this, it will help when claiming expenses back off HMRC.

    Good luck with your contracting and feel free to ask more questions in General, we are here to help.

    Hi - long shot this but...

    Would be in the Telecom industry - systems management software
    Been asked for my 'expectations' - i sorta figure that it would not be anywhere a UK salary
    So, anyone know?
