    Have you ever contracted/worked abroad?

    No real reason other than idle curiosity what % of you have, and to hear some good stories.

      To me the UK is 'abroad'. I've never worked anywhere else though, business related short-term travel aside.

        Not based abroad, but have been abroad in the course of my contracting work. So I don't know what to tick.

          The odd business trip doesn't count in my view, I mean actually getting a contract outside the country and living there (or commuting weekly).

            Occasionally work in the UK, but try to avoid it.

            Off skiing tomorrow, for the day. Leave home at 7:30, hit the slopes about 9:00.
            Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                    Germany/France/Belgium/Sweden commuting weekly 98-00
                    Sydney/Melbourne/Toronto/NYC/St Louis and some hick town in Illinois, two weeks out, one week home 03-05
                    Couple of trips to Amsters/Warsaw and other mainland European cities
                    France & Germany commuting weekly 50% of the time for the past few years.

                    Canada, Oz and NY were the most memorable but not for any work reasons.
