matt - if when you say VWcampervan you are referring to me then fine but I've worked bloody hard and still owe money on it!!
I for one don't think its of any benefit to post earnings - I'm not against it though. But try to remember that the guys up north can't charge the same as the cider drinkers, therefore to earn the same we have to work harder and longer. For example today I (along with one staff) made £358. Divide that by 2 and you get £179 each, so in effect on my own I made £179 today. We cleaned 3 bed semi's all day @ £6 each plus one large bungalow @ £10
So thats 29 semi's EACH and half a large bungalow each.
Now if I lived say in Surrey, I could probably charge £10 per 3 bed semi and £18 for the bungalow, altogether that would have been 58 x £10 and 1 x £18 = £598 which turns out at £299 per man.
So buy being able to charge a bit more you can see what a difference it can make, unfortunately we can't charge high prices up here (unlike someone who said 'just try it' - we can't, we have tried and it was a disaster.
So before you put figures on the forum just remember that for some of us we can only dream of making that kind of money.
