Show me the money

[Dave 85]

Anybody see 'show me the money' last night?
Documentary where everybody in a firm has to declare their wages to each other.
It was about Pimlico plumbers in london. All their plumbers/engineers seem to earn salaries of 70 to 150k. Crazy money.
Their managers are on about 50k, mechanics about 35k, call centre staff 18k and the poor lady in the canteen makes 14.5k doing a 45 hour week.

And people say there's no money in being a tradesman these days.....
Interesting program.

If memory serves they were on one of those rogue trader type progs a year or so back,something to do with overcharging,or un neccesary work or something like that,lot of firms at that these days,1 tried to charge a mate £200 for a gas valve for his boiler till I pointed out that it was a thermocouple that was duff not a gas valve.

I think you are right Phil , I thought they had been too ?

Correct , they were on the Watchdog consumer program few years back for ripping folk off with unecessary work.
Most prestigious ? they looked like a bunch of cockney wide-boys to me lol.
