Originally posted by Whorty View PostNo, it means you'll need extra security to clear the way for you to safely get to your office in Croydon without getting mugged. Take Shaun with you, he'll protect you with his potato peeler!Comment

I have been benched since September mainly down to a gig falling through. Plenty of jobs advertised but lots of clients window shopping. A lot of stuff is coming soon though as the number of PM roles is through the roof.

I didn't take it in the end as the commute time was too extreme for me.

Might happen if you go around fancying yourself and putting on all airs and graces but generally speaking you should be fine."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment

Originally posted by Paddy View PostI did a contract in Croydon. There was one daylight murder outside the front entrance and a few weeks later someone tried to set fire to the building. I got a taxi to and from the hotel.Comment

It is slowing down now.
Talk of projects being canned all over the place and for various reasons. One them being a 'lively' hurricane season the other being general, continuing, dysfunction in the banking sector. Some of it in part to the slowdown in QE required to keep the dead bodies warm.
I am expecting a start of a recession next year and are busy planning around that. Anything better is a bonus.Comment
