Maybe I should be glad I am not looking for a new gig.

The same problem would apply to anybody living in or around London - from an economical standpoint your choice of contracts is limited because the day/hourly rate outside London is likely to be substantially lower and you've got the transport/accomodation costs to bear.

I turned it down when I saw the rate, the agent tried to convince me that a 140 mile round trip plus bridge toll was doable on £17ph, he said there was plenty of overtime, yeh right... working day + 3 hour drive + overtime...
HTF do they expect to fill roles when the rate is so bad it won’t allow for long commutes let alone overnight stays.

Why can't the same job be closer to home?
