Thoughts on this plumber earning more than 200K per year

[Gavin John Hyde]

Have you seen the story in most of the papers over the weekend about one of the plumbers working for Pimlico in london?
Apparently he is earning over 200K per year...
Having seen what they charge per hour its not that far fetched or out of reach.
They charge upwards of £100 + vat per hour, for out of hours and over the weekend they charge £200 + vat. The minimum for sparks is £95 + vat per hour. If they have to go off and fetch materials or parts then they charge £80 + vat for that on top of the minimum one hour charge.

Be interested to know what the typical earnings for a pimlico electrician is as I gather a lot of them are on zero hour contracts and are in effect self employed.
thoughts?

Probably circulated to boost the coffers of some of the Electrical Trainee rip off course providers.

I Only dropped in to check up on the 'Plumber hating crew' Just to see if you were all still as jealous, bitter and viscous as last time I visited.

It looks just the same as before lol.

Some of the posts I've read today make me feel sad and my feelings are hurt. I had hoped you would have become more friendly toward you fellow man.

On the positive side, you're all very consistent ! I will give you that!

Every 5 mins wasted on here is potentially costing you £16.50 in call out charges...... ;o))))

£16.50? Those are spark rates. Ours are far higher than that due to the skill experience and qualifications involved.
