Re: Govt just trying to get cash back for shite work done by contractors.

Sounds like a whinging permie that didn't have the balls to go contract to me.

I pay my share of Tax and NI that I am due to pay according to the current rules set by HMRC. If the rules change, then I will pay a different amount.

If my 30 years in the industry and 21 years as a contractor have taught me anything, it is that the more a permie moans about contractors not paying their fair share, the more times they have got less of a raise than they think they deserved.

The most expensive "add-on" being the human component that makes the magic happen...

Avoid and evade are two different things in the eyes of the law.

One is legal, but, may be socially unacceptable, the other is a one way ticket to playing "pick up the soap" in the showers.

Re: Please explain

"The reason print characters are so complex is because it has to make up for not having the stroke order information."

Sorry, but I am calling you on this one.

Stroke order is not required. It is what differentiates good handwritten Chinese from bad. There is no difference in the handwritten, typed or printed characters. The difference is the individual style of the writer, if the handwritten were different from printed, that would require learning two sets of characters. Spoken and written Chinese are subtly different, as there is less chance of contextual problems with written text.
