How many CUK posters does it take to change a light bulb?

[ladymuck]

1 person to ask if the light was at home, or in the clientco's office and to warn about poor assumptions that a contractors insurance would pay out for accidents when changing clientco's lightbulb.

2 people to say how they broke their clientco's lightbulb, only to have their timesheet not signed, and invoice not paid due to an argument over damages.

WRT your first point, a further 3 to discuss the IR35 implications of doing BAU work not specified within the original scope and whether that constitutes MOO
