    If you guys were really smart you’d undercut us by about 5 euros instead of 30.

    I can’t stand job title inflation, but if I thought ‘Director of Systems Quality Assurance’ would get me a higher rate, I’d put it on my CV.

    I once got a shinny euro penny for me birthday. I was very tempted to spend it all at once. I hear tell of a man who had several and lived in the most unimaginable luxury.

    Cheapskate Brits

    Oi! What are you lot doing? Rates for Dutch contractors have crashed by about 35% due to British contractors turning up in NL and asking for ludicrously low rates due to the weak pound. You barstewards. Wot you trying to do? Earn a living?

    Actually I’d do the same and it’s a free market so I shan’t complain. Just be warned about the cost of living in a developed country before you come over though.
