Plumber wanted

[lame plumber]

But a gas fitter working for a company doesnt have any fixed costs to cover, so working for £160 for a cheapskate means that all those self employed engineers are having to fight for a living and cant ever undercut someone who is doing it for pocket money, or do you not understand what being self employed means?

He's offering work which is way above what you'd get working for an agency it might come in handy for someone so give him a brake you ungrateful gits

Although I like your comment I do think the replies are reasonable ones.

I dont think the replies are reasonable if you do your own work then the rate is a bit low but for a subbie its the going rate the guy is offering work theres a lot on here that are struggling to find any work let alone at that rate. lameplumbers a fantasist who would like everyone to think he's earning top dollar but he seems to spend more time on here posting than working!

He's asking for a HELPER on a couple of big installs. Not exactly stealing anyone's bread and butter.

If I was giving some down and outer a hand by offering some work alongside me, it certainly wouldn't be any more than £160 lol.

Just driven back from the father in laws who's in Lincoln.

Seems a fair day rate for a subby to me. Don't see why people are getting hot under the collar. Turn up, do the work, and hold your hand out at the end of the week to get paid. Sounds a lot easier than the crap I have to put up with to earn a living. (pricing, invoicing, and chasing payment to name just three of those chores).

Not fanatasist a realist, the problem with some folks is they dont research the going rate properly and work for a pitance and do themselves or others no favours at all. Please dont try and tell me or others what you think I earn, as youe no idea. All I am trying to do is get some people to realise they are worth so much more than they realise. One of the reasons I can spend a bit of time on here is that I dont need to work all the hours god gives you, think about it!

[lame plumber]
