When you say northern do you mean north of Watford Gap or up in the wilds of the Midlands?

I had one contract like that, one guy even refused to shake my hand when I tried to introduce myself in a meeting lol. Bunch of jokers, just keep your head down and keep invoicing.Originally posted by Ruprect View PostFirst day at a new contract today. Agent c0cked up and told me 10am start when everyone else got there at 9. Bit embarrassing so tried not to bring too much attention to myself for the rest of the day. The others seem a bit stand-offish, especially one northern contractor who kept glaring at me, tutting and rolling his eyes. Not sure what I've done to deserve this as I don't know the guy from Adam. Perhaps it's because I'm Indian?

Yeah, but you know what Northerners are like, eh?
All whippets and chip butties. I find it hard to tell one from the other. And those accents
