[Margaret Pilkington]

The other way around it is to be so specific that only brit firms are eligible to tender for the contracts.......this what many French or German firms do to circumvent the rules........another way is to break the contract into many small parts so that it flies below the radar of the EU rules.
We are daft, we apply the rules to the letter...which is pretty much why this contract is going abroad...sad isn't it?

I really don't think Mancies believed that I knew what you were talking about.........but as I said, I don't always put in the window what I have in the shop....and I have more oil in my lamp than to translate just because he is to idle to either use his brain, or to google the answers.
