Take a large crane. Lift the caravan to any height exceeding 100 feet. Release.

I will then be happy to issue you with the MOT certificate of your choice.

Most IT work is, by nature, project based.

As a contractor you get the greenfield work. As a 'permie' you get one greenfield project followed by brownfield (maintenance) stuff, and if any more new work turns up you'll be too busy so they'll call in the contractors

Wow - boring search. I recommend a "test please delete" search - the results are more satisfying.
