    42 votes and so we have The Answer.

    .. mostly IT Contractors and not many shopkeepers MF! Surprisingly, not many Agents either..

The speciality and capacity that contractors are supplying their services should not matter, for this board covers all contractors’ specialities and capacities.
    Sandy, read the title properly - "Contractor UK - The IT Contractor Portal"
