    the reason why we contract...
    Well, as far as I can ascertain of many of the posters here, the reason they contract is because they are incapable of holding down a full time job.

    Blimey what a pile of guff. I left permie-land as I got tired of being talked down to in a patronising way for a modest salary whislt contractors next to me were treated with respect and earnt a fortune.

    My only reason to do contracting is because of the interesting people I work with , the very funny and clever bosses I have and because I have always wanted to work for my company from the age of 8.

    Yes, I was being ironicist

    Except when it comes to the lower classes...there are very good reasons why the scum that is the lower class is the scum that is the lower classes!

    when I were a lad there was a real class divide ! My dad 'knew his place' and my mums greatest ambition was that I joined 'a profession'. When I formed my ltd company she walked around like Hyacinth Bucket for a month


    Its all changed now and for the better, now there are two classes, scroungers and other burgling scum and the rest of us
