A friend of mine is a welder; he earns £300 a week for working 9 till 5 Monday to Friday; more with overtime.

I'm not sure if that's take home pay; or before tax; I didn't like to ask.  He seems pleased with it though.

Someone did some welding for me, for about three hours and charged me £375 'cash', if you know what I mean -  ;)

Tosh going rate for welders here is £8-£12ph PAYE (site welding,tig, NOT in afactory doing dummy welding). £20-25 self-employed or at least it was last time I checked.

I'm a floor and wall tiler, just going to start hard floor and carpet cleaning business, and i have another business creating wild flower meadows for the super rich, this is very seasonal work and takes a lot of planning, and very expensive machinery.

or for most of the country except for the south east corner. 16k is a good basic wage for many around here.

I'm a London taxi driver but I don't do it at the moment. The overheads are crippling and the work is way down.
Everybody you talk to in the taxi world is looking to bail out.
