Put in this context £250 a day is paltry.

Thank you, am frankly petrified now. Not helped by a staggering amount of people (some I've previously never spoken to before) feeling it necessary to tell me horrific details surrounding labour/birth/children, and expecting me to thank them for it.
It's not all horror stories

If anything I've seen the real cost of services increase not decrease.

What tends to happen where the people who want your skills, but can only afford £250 (or whatever) per day, simply do without.
Hence the lack of interesting jobs in a downturn.
