  1. Common denominator, anyone?
  2. Is that ol' boyo from somewhere on some hill?
  3. Normally go back upto the Midlands to see my brothers and their families but it's lockdown central and my SiL's a type1 diabetic so I'm staying here, our middle kid (brother) will be on his way as soon as he parks is truck tommorow, and a mate whose parked here are having Christmas dinner in my truck. I might have a small glass of port to celebrate.
  4. That may be true, but I could post a picture of my iPad.
  5. ... yet after all this time I still can't manage to work out how to add pictures of my milled timber.
  6. We came up the M11 out of the smoke today and even at 60-65MPH the wipers on full tilt wouldn't clear the screen, one motor had aquaplaned straight into the Armco.
  7. Not me if you are charging in 6 minute increments.
  8. Just the very man, I'm sure you could draft an email to get a definitive answer.
  9. To keep it arb related, not that it matters, can someone email their insurance company and ask the question. Perhaps Paddy could word the email, that way if the reply comes back has I expect it to there can be no argument.
  10. Read the very last sentence under Labour Only Subcontractor. If it won't be valid it seems pointless having it. Covering Contractors Under Employers’ Liability Insurance WWW.TOWERGATEINSURANCE.CO.UK As an employer you will need employers’ liability insurance. Read how to ensure your policy covers all workers that...
  11. If it does happen I'm sure you won't mind posting a viable link to a case where it has happened that specifically mentions freelancers.
  12. gobby, is that a 20', or a 40'? You wouldn't find a good 20' around here for a grand, well maybe but not much less, and we are right under the 'flight path' from Felixstowe docks.
  13. Of course it does, what paddy is trying to say (if I'm reading him correctly) is, you being the boss could chase the freelancer who caused the damage for the money. Where this falls down is, the freelancer was working under your instruction, makes it all bets off I'm afraid.
  14. If that was Boris, the water would come out of his other ear.
  15. My apologies, David. I don't what came over me (add your own joke).
  16. We aren't meeting up for a few beers ociffer, it's an official business meeting.
  17. Before long he'll be posting pictures of his wanga.
  18. When do Freelance Instructors need their own Personal Public Liability Insurance? WWW.ACTIVITIESINDUSTRYMUTUAL.CO.UK When do Freelance Instructors need their own personal public liability insurance? it's a common question and one...
  19. You are mixing two different scenarios up, if that electrician was a freelancer the buck stops with the electrical company that employed him, not the person who actually did the job, fact. If he was a sub contractor it would be on him, if he's a freelancer not, fact.
  20. How hard is it to prove you are an independent sole trader if you are?
  21. Put Β£400/day into this calculator, no wonder the feckers want to shoehorn us into IR35.

The rules explained, a free online status test, and calculate the extra tax if you are...
  22. I've had a read up on this today, for those of us who are genuine freelancers nothing whatsoever will change. When I say genuine I mean those of us who do a day or three here, a week or two there, a week on your own work.
  23. Yes, what I did say earlier was, most here work freelance for a few different company's, again earlier I said that calculator assumes you are working for the same company, like an employee! i.e. They really are employees/employers avoiding tax. Genuine freelancers move about between company's and mix in some of their own work.
