Best rate? GBP 690 day rate, on Fridays I worked 4 hours. I never took a Friday off work on that job.

Highest rate worked was over 2 hours in a day. It was a stressful time.

Originally posted by jamesbrown View PostI had a Sunday paper round back in the early nineties, which kept me in bongs. That was quite a high rate.

Had a one day contract for £5 up in Wigan once. Spent £3 of it on a pie and lost the change while sat on the tulipter in wallgate so all in all I was down on the day. Some arsehole picked it up and wouldn't roll it back. Should have used North western but the blue lights mess with my head.

I worked for as many free pies as I could eat in a day.
I don’t like to brag.

No one will say cos everyone exaggerates their rate because of inadequacy issues.
