I believe I can claim a first: am I the first BAJR contributor to have been patronized by Unit?
Michael has (again) hit the proverbial nail fair and square. But why, Unit, do you demand that everything is done for you by others? While still an undergrad I purchased my own copy of the ICE and Guidance Notes as it seemed an obvious and essential thing to do. However, I had the advantage of being a mature student with many years of previous experience in the construction industry, and there was indeed no hint to "conventional" students that contracts, or a real world outside narrow archaeological confines, exists.
