    Are clients battening down the hatches following the budget?

    That's what it seems like.

    Until a week or two ago I was getting one or two phone calls a week from agents, but now these have stopped.

    Or maybe people are away on their hols?

    I don't know if it's to do with the UK budget; the same seems to be happening here in Euroland; could also be due to the holiday season.

        Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

          I was expecting both to happen, that's why I jumped ship early and headed to Zurich.
