for someone that is unemployed and cant get another job, £120 x 6 = £720 a week! That could get someone that is up the creek without a paddle a lifeline!

well at london living costs 120 a day aint brilliant ...
plus 8-10 jobs a day ...you would be working like a nutter to get thewm done ...plus own car and own ladders ..think of petrol and continuus traffic in central london.

personaly think they having a laugh plus you would need to be well fit carrying 30ft ladders round and going up and down them.

plus safety working on 30ft ladders all day trying to rush to get 10 jobs done each day

they can keep it... ;D

I think being a window cleaner makes us look down on other jobs

When i was on holiday in urkey there was a guy there talking to his in laws about a friend of his who earned £125 a day and they wereall like  :o

Guys at any rate £120 a day is blooming good money and thats alot of money for a week, perminent position £2880 a month...yeh its gonna be hard work for who ever but jeeees thats good money!

Being employed and earning that money you gotta work hard. Personally i think thats good! Yes we all earn more on our own, and pul in "£500" but thats not every day, we have good days and bad days, which probably in the end levels out to around that rate.

Come on guys...dont be so snobbish!

£37,000 a year is great money for an unskilled worker even in London.
The average wage in Britain is £14,250 per year.

Working that kind of heght of unsecured ladders every day, especially with some hard to reach gutters, is asking for an accident.

Horrible job when it is raining.

I can't see anyone do a good job doing 8 to 10 gutters a day off of ladders.

Thats way to much work for one person in a day for that type of work off of ladders.

Absolutely.  In my current position I wouldn't touch it but if I was out of work I'd snap their hand off for it.
