      Yeah, because it was so buoyant before the referendum, wasn't it?

        It's like the Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot bringing the UK back to year zero. It will be all right in 100 years.

          I take you were in contract for the previous 6 months leading upto the referendum then?

            Gosh, all those forward looking PMIs appear to completely contradict your impression about business in general, and I'll counteract your personal anecdote about contracting with the following: business is booming here

              Its funny, there are a lot more contracts in my area than I have seen for a long, long, time.
              Rates look a little better too.

                Yep. Unfortunately, when someone is struggling to find a gig, they tend to leap into one of two traps: 1) assume it isn't them; or 2) extrapolate from their specific specialism/location to contracting in general.
