Nope, I'm in one although its only 3 days a week which I point out and each person at the other end does try to get me to either leave it or goes on to see if I can do the one they're offering part time. BTW all projects were mainframe based where there is no real downturn in the market nor in rates as its now becoming a niche market, oh, and none were in the UK. Only one call introduced an element of fishing and that was the one from the UK agent.

UK = not worth working in. Not been there for many a year.
