thats not far off todays prices lol

 

[merlin]

[richardbrown]

erm yeah ... lol.

no im always fair mate. If I cant get the job where I can pay decent money I dont take it on.... whats the point of taking it on for nothing, not making nothing and the subbies slagging you right off for paying nothing

 

[merlin]

my sentiments exactly mate, well paid subbies make tidyier job in my experience
