Could I have the honour of being the recipient of your fine new gig? I would like a big mac, fries and a large strawberry milkshake please.

Thanks...

It is not just that it is also the benefit of the 1.5 hours gained through not having the longer commute.

Your diet.

Well I don't think they sell fine food or salads at the OP's new gig.

Just secured a new contract, start Monday, lower rate but will save 1.5 hours a day commuting and is longer term.

I take it when you add in the 1.5 hours the hourly rate will be the same or better.

I hope the place is also nicer than the current one (from memory you were debating the previous renewal).

I will be in with a group of developers, guys who interviewed me seemed much more my types.

Thanks

I am not known for my great accountancy skills but it works out about the same give or take 10 quid.
