This is pretty much what i do as well, i will happily pay a good groundie a ton, but they must be good, and need to know what to do with out me shooting instructions from above. I pay my 16 year old nephew £60 a day for labouring. I believe in paying people what they are worth to me, an even at 16 he can out perform many an older lad, and go the extra mile if i ask him. In my last job i was payed £60 a day, and swore i would always pay what people are worth, it makes me feel right as well, i know what its like to struggle......

When i do repairs to my pick up, does that mean i could be in the shtoop for not being a qualified mechanic ! Or do i have to wait until i cut myself trying to get the rear springs off again.......... Its a crock off tosh ! Just like the recent debate about cash payments being immoral......the frippin politicians are trying to turn us against each other, become state spies like the stazzi........its mental !
