First day at a new contract today. Agent c0cked up and told me 10am start when everyone else got there at 9. Bit embarrassing so tried not to bring too much attention to myself for the rest of the day. The others seem a bit stand-offish, especially one northern contractor who kept glaring at me, tutting and rolling his eyes. Not sure what I've done to deserve this as I don't know the guy from Adam. Perhaps it's because I'm Indian?

First Northerner Contractor Experience
"Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny. "

Yeah, but you know what Northerners are like, eh?
All whippets and chip butties. I find it hard to tell one from the other. And those accents -

I've never worked with a Northern contractor. Have met one or two socially though. Apparently they like to bare their butt cheeks in public. Has anyone else come across northern contractors who do this?Comment
