      Well to be honest the whole work culture has gone to a tulip-stool. Games of pretense and keeping up appearances. Contracting, I believe, is the most honest way of now doing my job, although HMRC is doing its best to play the puppet master. If only I can get the elusive second contract soon .

            at least they are trying, normally you turn up and spend 3 days waiting for a log in.

            I got a welcome pack and a card before I started and turned up and all my IDs worked. Felt fantastic.

                If you can spell "dyslexia", you clearly aren't affected by it.

                  do you mean 'prior to the temporal frame being discussed' or is it just bad ?

                    when I was a kid I ticked 1-9 out of 10.

                    down considerably on that now, but like Frank Harris I exercised.
