Trolls again

GF knew that the trolls were circling. This time it's those aligned to the Esteemed Client. They are querying the latest contract for GF's time.

Why is the contract for this period of time?


Err, because that what you asked for in your request !

Why are the expenses estimated based on driving to the site, you should use a train?


Err, if GF uses a train it will add £2000 to the expenses, and involve 11 hours 40 minutes on the train for a round trip. Assuming that GF would charge for that, as that is well beyond any reasonable commute time, that would add, say £2000 per trip... at say 30 trips. You do the sums !!!

Actually, when GF recalculated it all he realised he'd under-called the estimate by several hundred pounds. Hah!

It does raise another interesting anomaly, however. If Esteeemd Client pays GF's company 25p per mile, and GF's company only pays him 9p per mile... is GF being stitched up? Methinks so!
