It could be a three year contract, that is normal and could be right, so not as much as stated

Sounds a bit far fetched to me but he wouldn't be alone in telling a porky pie, theres lots of people who like to talk a load of old bull about picking up contracts when they haven't, perhaps it makes them feel special. Although as Stu Mac says it could be a long term contract so perhaps it true

I've just lost a contract that was worth well over £100,000. But as Stu rightly states, no-one mentions how long the contract is for!

 ;D so did I, it was worth £56 a month and would have taken about 14 years to earn it though ;D
