xxmattxx, i couldn't earn £80 per day trad. I wasn't very good. I used poles app and blade for ups, but I had no complaints.
However, if you class my earnings as more typical, again typicaly, now I am wfp I can double that,(maybe £160). This is why Dai's post is interesting to most of us.You are unique in being the only person I have ever heard of who earns more by having traveled in the opposite direction.
If I can make one observation about people bragging about how much they earn, and this is not aimed at you Matt, from other comments.such as can't afford a van, haven't got a garage,can't RO water,etc, it very often turns out they live in a one bedroomed council flat.
