Don't know, loads of money, i lived in Earls Court once for 8 weeks, rent free and still ended up spending a £1000.00 a week and that was about 1987, a few years ago, mind you i have still got some good memory's of that time in my life, what fun i had :thumbup: i think today , in London, its got to be £300 a day as a subi. On the books it would have to be a fair wage, how much did you think?

 

£1000 a week? 1987..... Did you snort your weight in nose candy every night and drink champagne like water?

 

£120 a day will be plenty if your just a normal fella.

£120 on the books would be ideal, as a subby i'd want a bit more ideally. I think £300/day might be a bit ott! when i freelance round me at the moment (herefordshire/shropshire/worcestershire) I get between £105 and £135/day, but the cheaper end of the scale is 5 days a week if i want it, which is nice to fall back on and why i'm willing to work for a bit less. Things are pretty cheap for me here so if i were to move to london i'd need it to be finacially viable.

You only live once:thumbup: we hit the town every night for the full time we were there.

300 quid a day as a climber..? I very much doubt! Maybe if you turn up with a truck chipper and get rid of waste.

 

Looking like 120 - 130 on the books if your lucky.
