Yes but .............................................. take your net profit for the year, take off your holidays divide by your working weeks and then to your hourly rate - bet it's not far off their hourly rate might even be lower!

Give over, when a ship founders you're down on the beach like ferrets smashing open the containers, driving away brand new four by fours and  motorbikes, and cases of cigarettes and whiskey.

Wrecking must be a great biz, you set lights on the cliffs to send the ships off course, and have cornish exemptions from prosecutuion.What you find you keep.Simples.Your mates at the party aren't telling you everything.

Next time you visit these well todos, wink along with a grimace, and give a backward handshake.Mention the £8 an hour thing , that seems like some sort of code to me.You'll end up with the best wfp kit in the country.

PS. keep your eye out for L5's, we can flogg em' and go half each.

I thought the house prices were pretty good when I was there in August. For the same sort of money my standard 3 bed terraced costs in Portsmouth, I saw some decent places when I looked in an estate agent's window. I would love to move away from here to somewhere like that, but the only thing that concerns me is the level of employment being lower out of season might mean a higher turnover of customers. (I won't, cos Mrs W likes it here...  ::) ) Is it like that at all?

PJ and Hydrophil, have a point.

You need to see your tax return to see how much you have really earned per hour, until you see all your expenses against your Gross, you can only guess.

Dont dismiss all those hours canvassing, reasearching on here, invoicing, standing outside river island waiting for them to open lol, when you work out your "TRUE" hourly rate

It could be a real eye opener, I had a real shock this quarter, according to my accountant, I just about broke even.
