Yes Nick you are correct, I was thinking of people who are contract staff working for companies, a number which might well increase in these changing times.
Agreed, OM, as you are then essentially self-employed and thus running your own business from home.

Re: Lockup/ lockdown. How to end it?

If people work from home on a formal basis does this mean that their house rates become business rates, and will this up the insurance premiums, I bet that if this becomes a more permanent arrangement matters like this will become an issue. My accountant discussed this with me, had I used my home a...

Re: Lockup/ lockdown. How to end it?

You are leaving out the fact that things change...new tech that makes home working more available has come to the fore due largely the pandemic and a big re-assesment is being made by companies It might not have been a consideration to out source before the rece...

Re: Lockup/ lockdown. How to end it?

The office workers love working from home. Easy peasy and no pesky commuting to pay for, they seem to forget that the next step will be that someone else does their work from THEIR home, in Bangalore. I've heard this said a lot but I don't get the logic of it. If it was better for a company to have...

Re: Chaos in USA

No - you're wrong 'Nick' - as I said previously I stand corrected. The manner of your 'correction' was triumphal to say the least and arrogant in manner. I'm not an expert on the internet and find the subject boring, so don't pay much attention to it and made a mistake of mixing the WWW with the in...

'Nick' - Wrong again. I am not going to tell you anything of the sort. It was supposed to be tongue in cheek but don't let me stop your grandstanding and minor triumph. I think you've made your point now. No grandstanding at all and no feeling of triumph. You must be one of those people who hate it...

Re: Chaos in USA

So nothing that Berners-Lee did had anything to do with the 'invention' of the internet and the idea behind it? If not then I stand corrected and will put a plaster on my arse. Correct. As I already pointed out, the World Wide Web is not the same as the internet. Better get that plaster out. You'll...

Re: Chaos in USA

I hear from Chump's speach that America was responsible for inventing the internet and splitting the atom. Maybe Berners-Lee and Rutherford might disagree. Thick rednecks wouldn't know the truth if it bit their 'asses'. Well most people would agree that the internet was invented in America, albeit ...

Re: Chaos in USA

Looking at the state of the original sculpture, I don't think she'll be too bothered. I assumed, wrongly, that that was how it looked AFTER it was burned.

Who the f gives their kids names like Enam, Kayela, Lyza and Nyome. Answer not required. Heard on news this morning that the players at a cricket match in Southampton later will be 'giving the knee' or whatever it is. I wish I were a cricket player, to have the opportunity to give the finger. Remin...

Re: Black Lives Matter Bollocks

Our nearby town has a statue of a Boer War soldier from a local family who died in 1901 at the Battle of Bakenlaagte. It has stood in a prominent position since 1904. The Town Council are now discussing whether the statue should remain as he was complicit in filling concentration camps with the wiv...

Looks like it could be off this weekend, the black lot are having second thoughts at the possibility that someone might stop them smashing the place up. This is a tweet from Khan, I don't recall him saying the same about the extreme left groups spreading their hatred last week. Mayor of London? It ...

Re: Black Lives Matter Bollocks

Unless our useless government (sorry Nick) gets a grip, this weekend promises to be very nasty. Perhaps the only solution is to bar ALL gatherings of more than 6 people, particularly in London, and enforce it. The C19 act does not grant such powers as I understand it, but a quick emergency powers a...

Re: WTF is happening in the UK?

In case you missed the 'thoughts', Nick I would have though it abundantly clear from my recent posts (if you read them - do you need assistance?) that I consider the current (turncoat) PM (bizarrely elected for his pro-Brexit 'credibility') and a lot of the cabinet to be incompetent and those who e...
