I blame the younger contractors... They are worryingly upbeat about 250 a day gigs and don't mind agencies taking massive margins.

Some of us over 40 contractors are still getting rate increases with every new contract.

Boomed my arse.

Seems to me reading some of the posts on the threads today that this thread is particularly apt.

Not sure on that one.

Agree though that in general it's a worrying thought, especially considering some of the childish and monotonous bickering we see.

Are you sure you don't mean shaddit?
