Hey thanks, Churchill. Your avatar reminded me I have to buy a hairdryer for my niece's birthday.

Just been turned down by agent on grounds of 'living too far away from client', who is in the Hague.

Agents, ffs READ!

Besides, I'm not some weedy permie who insists on going home at 5 o'clock. I'm a contractor; I will work anywhere the client wants me to work and find a place to sleep; that's my problem, not the client's problem.

A short answer to can they read? - NO

How do you sound gay on a forum? Granted feelling quite jolly right now

Apart from that you sound like a bit of a numbnut? Are you a numbnut?

Why put your address on your CV?

Then you can say you live in the same town as the role.

I've been doing it for a decade.

Also stops HR depts saying that you don't meet their carbon policy - as you travel more than 30 miles!
