Where oh Where has our newbie gone
I think we scared him away
Not as much sport, not as much fun
If he doesn't come back to play
Perhaps a or a will do,
A friendly message might ?
Paulh54, we're waiting for you
Come back, we'll treat you right

Before I get going though, a much more important question -
when I made my cheese toastie this a.m. I had the toaster set on 5
now the manufacturers recommend a setting of 4, but my missus reckons it comes out raw, so we always use 5.
Of course, this morning it came out smoking and burn ed.
So, Paul. do I eat burn ed toasties, or antagonise the missus ?
That'll be £50 please

Now, where were we.
Have you ever flown a military jet fighter to Italy to get a bowl of pasta?

Originally posted by paulh54 View PostHey guys, i'm new here (so be gentle!).
Just looking to see what effects late payments have on your business... In particular:
1) As a freelancer/contractor, when do you get paid by the client? What are your invoice terms?
2) Do clients ever impose payment terms on you?
3) In terms of cash-flow, are late payments ever an issue?
4) Is chasing payments (credit control) ever an issue for you as a freelancer?
5) Do you currently use any methods of credit to cover cash-flow issues caused by long/late payment? (I.e. Overdrafts, credit cards, a loan facility)
Cheers guys, looking forward to your thoughts & feedback!
Paul

Please answer some questions for us first.
1) Do you like films about gladiators?
2) When did you last bleed your radiators?
3) Have you ever licked the chutney spoon, then put it back?
4) Have you been taken up the oxo tower?
5) Have you been to Bridgwater?
