    Deposits are a killer

    Will be glad the 3rd month is nearly over. 3 months of deposit payable over 3 months + rent.

    So if you're thinking of setting up in Munich bring £10k with you.

      Hotels are quite nice in Munchen, that would be easier on the cash flow

        I thought you were in massive demand everywhere and were invoiving like 1k euros per day or even more? Sounds like it's all bulltulip as if you are earning that much then you should have far more than £10k spare for such an essential thing like roof over yer head.

        Therefore, using the powers vested in me by the CUK Supreme Leadership I hereby order that you are to be considered DimPrawn Jnr, a CUK court jester and fantasist.

            I've no been paid yet!

            A real consultant does not charge every month, that's how permies are paid.

              Wot, you've never been paid before, ever??!?! With your alleged rates you should have saved loads by now - finding spare £10k should not be a problem for someone of your stature.

                I don't trade with folding cash, only hobnobs.

                  I'll remind you that next time you'll start bragging about how good your euro rates are.

                    I've got to maintain my hobnob habit somehow.
