      My Mrs. was on it the other week.

      Unfortunately the panelists were really poor, including some corbynist ****** writer from the Guardian.

      So, she couldn't ask a contractor related question as there was no one useful there to attack

      We had a couple of potential crackers already lined up, a real shame

        Question 3 if you have time
        Can she bleed a radiator.

        IMO you'd be better off asking us which word we would like you to slip in to your questions. I would like you to use the word 'moist' at least once.
        She's the quintessential corporate pole choker so if you get pole choker into a question that would suffice for me.

          I'd ask if it was 'fair' that HMRC are using their PR budget to sway the public into thinking that freelancers are tax 'avoiders', when in actual fact they have always followed HRMC rules to letter (assuming that they have asked their accountant), even when they are draconian.

              They used examples personal to her, so unless the OP has had the same experiences, particularly at one time working full time for Crapita , prior to contracting, they wouldn't be relevant.

              We decided if you were too general with the contractor questions they could easily be shot down, or a standard text book response would be provided.

                    Nothing. He'd be donning his Hugo Boss and jumping in his Rangey down to the venue immediately. Also, his trap would be full of sausage roll.

                      True, but there would be a family bucket of Kentucky riding along with him.
