I'm in the £250 - £350 / day bracket. (damn border crossing).
Alot depends on the work. Last contract was a measly £250/day but it was based out of a DHL office at Next in Leicester. 1.4 miles from my house and stocked full of honeys as it was a call center (we had offices at the back).
Money is not the only thing I look for, I bet I am not the only one that will up the rate if your working with a 50 year old divorcee and less if the office is stocked with 25 - 28 year old honeys. Who are all still older than me.
I miss that contract.Comment

I miss that contract.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment
