one assumes the Day rate is 'consulting level' i.e. 1.5-3 times normal day rate?

Yikes. I charged one ClientCo my daily rate x 4.
now I feel slightly guilty.

It'll be a small uplift, but my rate is already midway between bigco rate and normal contracting rates. That's mainly since I don't work full-time for any one client - I have call-off contracts - so I have to be flexible, and so can charge more. It does mean the occasional very long (but financially rewarding) day.

Bloomin great if so, used to do that, it paid for some nice holidays.

And its a step towards being a real business.

Video recorders are tricky

If it was that - I'd have to subcontract to one of my kids.

It fits nicely in with the other contracts I have, so I'm basically full-time until May.

Betamaxs are tricky.

Isnt this the IT contracting equivalent of a tramp scraping around a bin and finding a half eaten Big Mac.

Perhaps.

Permie.

I thought we'd agreed that was using Tesco vouchers at the Travelodge.
