No disrepect, but you and Simmo always go on about how much work you have.
Ive been in the building since 1972, and have never met a poor plumber or sparks.
If you are doing 13 hr days, you should be earning at least £200/day.
I was 24 in 1979, born and bred in Brighton and a qualified carpenter when I got married.
I moved to Hailsham, because the total that the Building Society would lend me and my intended was 14k, 2.5 times our income. That would get nothing in Brighton in 79, they hadnt even sold council houses...
