Down to earth but no Einstein! he says it is all on credit card!

Oh dear. And not being paid off I assume, so gross debt is rising again. Did he have any numbers?

Right, everyone, here's the plan; if you see a Ferrari or a Porsche on the motorway, it's probably a recruitment consultant, so just 'accidentally on purpose' change lanes as he overtakes, ding your car, crick your neck (preferably fake it), then sue the bastard for damages!



PS leave Jags alone.

I'll be driving in the UK later this week so I'll take that onboard :-)

You weren't supposed to tell him about that.

Don't worry, he can tell anyone he likes - he's a recruitment agent ... who's going to believe anything he says?!

[MyUserName]

You should also care about what percentage remains after the agent's cut.

Perhaps I used the phrase incorrectly but when I say 'my rate' I mean the actual rate my company gets. I do not really care that much what the agent gets.

Yes but that is actually by men with guns as part of the 'great awakening'.

Afraid not. Good news though apparently the service sector is on the rise and agents have become "highly sought after", so whilst "you lot" won't see much "we lot" can look forward to big margins

All I really care about is does this mean contractor rates are likely to rise?

Actually ... no ... all I really care about is does this mean my rate is likely to rise?

Talking to a banker the other day. He says that the growth is being funded by borrowing against property.

UK growth to outpace Germany for next two years - Telegraph

The torygraph said it so it must be true!

Actually its according to the "EC"

Growth in Britain will outpace Germany for the next two years, according to the European Commission (EC), amid a continued rise in consumer spending and long-overdue pick-up in business investment.

The EC more than doubled its growth forecast for the UK on Tuesday, and said that the outlook had improved "substantially" over the past six months.
