  1. I got into some discussions with mates last night about Bikers and it got me into some idle wondering about what kind of folk we are, so here's a survey if you'd like to take part.

    Just select the option that you think best describes you.

    Responses are anonymous in case that worries you, and you can change your selection if your circumstances change. I expect we can broadly guess the results but there might be a few surprises, especially if we can compare our responses with the population at large.

  2. I'm classed as self employed sole trader even though I've worked for the same company full time for 3 years..
    Construction industry scam...

  3. I'm classed as an employee but increasingly, I have to do my own HR shit, instead of HR doing it.

    Feck knows what HR does any more.

    That was a rant, wasn't it. Sorry.

  4. Although HMRC are looking into more and more cases of this. A lot choose it for the tax loopholes.

  9. If it is just you then choose Sole Trader.

    I have tried to edit the choice to say Self Employed Sole Trader or "Contractor" Ltd Company but don't think it is possible to change the text of an option :-/
