Thanks again for all the posts.
As I've said before, I have always regarded the cost of a recurrent simply as the 'cost of doing business', so a contract with a recurrent bond caught me off guard a little.
The thought of being held to a permanent and perpetual bond was, for me, too much. I have decided not to sign and will therefore not be departing to pastures new. Shame, as I was very excited about living in the city in question, and the company (with the exception of this issue) seemed really good.
At least I get to feel I've done my little bit for defending our T and C's.... although I'd have preferred a new job!
