Not complaining: Yes you are! Start enjoying the competition. Embrace them wholeheartedly. They're keeping you in a job no matter how much or how little they charge or how good/bad you may think they are.
I stand by my previous post. "I can spend one week on the telephone and pretty well lay out a year's work." & "Given the Geography, the U.K. would be easy."
Sorry; That's Just the way it is. The fact is that when I'm going at it full time, scheduling time off becomes a problem.
If you're looking for new places all of the time, your going to run into difficulties. Be more of a farmer than a hunter.
As for not knowing the U.K. ..... You're joking. Right?
