The best way to illustrate to HMRC what Lack of Moo means

"No we're not. No MOO, you see. We're fecking off right now..."

I paraphrase, but I really did laugh out loud when I read the bit about the entire Employment Status Service team buggering off on Friday.

I read that too. Made me laugh. Had a couple of chats about it with the agents calling me today. I predict their next move will be to keep lowering the rates every six months and trying to figure out why the project keeps getting delayed into infinity... not unlike a certain supermarket chain's behaviour.

Nah, that one is supposed to be paying contractors "THOUSANDS!" according to a bunch of disgruntled permies(*) I met at their competitor's office.

(*) I'm sure their bitching had nothing to do with the fact that I drove to work in my new Mazda MX-5 (I know, those who've been to the car parks at Canary Wharf are now pissing themselves laughing at what permies will be jealous of).

Hertfordshire. Life there must be tulip if the highlight of their social life is a team outing to The Parcel Yard at Kings Cross where they are trying to get pissed before the last train home. It was a miserable experience (the rate was good).

In every county there are rich, middle and poor areas.

I know people who live in Hertfordshire and they definitely don't do that.

Shirley HMRC had to do this, otherwise they'd be accused of hypocrisy. They'll just hire more permies which is probably how the public sector should operate. The high levels of contractors they use is worrying really... bad organisation. Contractors should fill the gaps, not be the bulk of your workforce.
