New chap at the agency is taking us (4 in the team) out for a meal tonight, just wondering how much we should take him for?

I think we might be able to fleece him

4 years with my agent - I've had 1 x Christmas dinner (no alcohol), 1 x agency branded water bottle, 2 x bottle of cheap bubbly, 1 x gingerbread person with broken arm, 1 x agency branded keyring (excess postage payable), 1 x agency branded coaster. Oh, and £50 sponsorship on clientCo's charity bikeride (no IR35 - permies got paid for their day off, I didn't!)Comment
