    Again, stop exaggerating.

    TM likes to talk it up a lot. He kept going on about his fishing boat as well, but I free this is the truth.

    I (we) used to own a cafe, if that's what you mean.

Came in this morning and new (permmie) PM who I arranged to meet at 9 AM has gone to another building and is 'too busy' to see me today

    So (to keep TF happy) I'm carrying out 'work' in return for payment during my 'notice' period which involves waiting for a guy to find the time to come and speak to me.

    Am I the first contractor to get terminated for 'misconduct' then told i couldn't leave immediately ?

    No wonder this bank is going down

    It's a contractual term with which they need to comply. You 'just forget the £3k and move on' brigade really need to learn what contracts are all about.
