    I have a mate working with the green murphy........... he is clearing 425 for 5 days.doing handy work,ie nothing heavy.
    Think you will find its mostly agencies that supply labour.

    best of luck

    ya that roughly works out about 13 pounds per hour before tax you sure about that?

    thats the rate for a sparky at the moment over there and i was havin a look around the jobsites for the uk and all the labourer jobs are coming in at around 6 pounds per hour 7 or 8 in london

    sadly if that was the case i wouldn't bother im trying to put money together for oz and if it was only 6 or 7 per hour i wouldn't be able to save anything with rent and all over there you would just survive really

    having worked on large sites in Scotland (Glasgow and Edinburgh) for a well known contractor, the agency labourers were treated like **** and paid a pittance (£6 something an hour). was a big surprise for me after moving over from Ireland where the lads would be getting crazy money(better paid than the engineer). Not sure about London, have some friends there working on the Olympics so could ask. Even the skilled lads (chippies and such, weren't on great money, 350 maybe a week) which you would only scrape by on in London.

    Not sure, a very small irish plastering outfit.,,ie. 3 or 4 ppl... I know that they have a labourer from Lithuania who's getting 60 per day but being skilled you should be able to pick up decent money
