  How much would that expenses get up to? In Spain, that comes around
180 pounds per month, and that's only company costs. So I understand
that being a contractor in the UK is much cheaper than Spain (also,
400 quid per day is not even something people can dream of in Spain..

  Yep, benefits is a word we don't have in Spain either when talking
about jobs :)
