I’ve been contracting so long and earning so much that if I hadn’t bought a boat, I would have half a dozen houses in France by now.
Some people have no class

What was overhead? Was it one of the other contractor's helicopter? Car park is full of 'em here.

No Class? They're probably spot on.

Until a few years ago a small house or apartment in the South of France was probably dirt cheap, and boats eat £50 notes like a hungry pig eating cabbage leaves out of a large bucket!

Are you saying the contractors are an overhead at your site?

I like to think of myself as a mammoth cost center they have to allocate and approve a sizable budget for

If you had a boat then you could anchor it someone in the med and work offshore. You would pay all your earnings in wealth tax on your French houses. France is a great country for a holiday but not if you are rich.

Disgusting. A proper contractor would have both.
