Actually the ?65 was ok once you added in the free accom (usually top-rate), mileage, travel etc....worked out a lot better than being 'employed' at a lot of other units
Free accommodation for self-employed contractors, eh. That must be an interesting one to explain to the tax man. No guesses who you work for then. Lets face it ?65 per day is shameful, adding on mileage (something the contractor would have paid for themselves already) is not a wage increase! 'Unit in the North' - there must be a handy three letter abbreviation we can all use instead, nothing springs to mind though... No wonder we are in the state we are.
