    Benched Contractors Fund

    hey you lot,

    what about you all pay into a 'benched contractor's fund' and if I'm ever on the rock n roll I'll draw down from it

    obviously, the amount one draws will be relative to the amount on has paid in

    perhaps, considering the number of potentially interested parties, somebody, PCG or someone could productise this ?

    could be a runner

    Err - isn't this called a 'bank account'?

    Or am I missing something here?

        not quite luv,

        cos, in a bank account wot u put in u take out

        with this, the idea would be, with the following assumptions


        #1, not all contributors will be drawing at the same time

        #2, therefore, the amount contributed could be less than the amount drawn


        have a think about it luv while you put the kettle on ta :-)

          Yes, it's that it's called "milan's bank account"

          The difference is subtle but oh so important. Think Northern Rock

              I am all for it...... You send your money to me and I will sort it out for you...
              Lets say £1000 p/w plus a measly 10% Admin fee.....

              If you ever need it I will pay out £900 p/w less a measly 10% Admin fee...

              I think a token £500 joining fee should be adequate....

                  alright alright joking aside,

                  basically a shared warchest

                  everybody puts in a small regular amount, and when they are on the bench they can draw a larger amount from the warchest

                  don't the armed forces have this kind of thing


                  obviously it is a pyramid and the success of which depends of more people paying in than drawing down

                  it could be interesting

                    Not for me, ta.

                    My warchest is enough for me, but not enough for others...
