    Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.

    Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.

    It is a bit of a shame for all those permies whose annual pay rises were sorted out at the end of last year isn't it?

    Still, we'll have extra industrial action to look forward to at the end of this year because of it.

      That is bad news indeed for UK plc. Rates will have to rise to combat inflation just at a point when the economy needs low rates to stimulate recovery.
      Caught between a rock and a hard place.

      Unless it is the Treasury's strategy to inflate, in order to reduce debt.
      Hard Brexit now!

          What a man. What a leader. Yowza! Happy day's are here again
          How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

            That has always been the plan. It's that or bust.

              That will be why the pound is rampaging upwards then! Just in time for timesheet day as usual
              Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

              I preferred version 1!

                  Question is, how to weather the storm. Sterling, Euro's, shares, gold, index linked (to phoney inflation figures) investments... Everything seems overpriced and/or risky.
