alex3659 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 They may not pay £10 per hour but it will cost them at least £10ph to employ them. Basic wage plus h&s clothing, holiday pay, sick pay, employers NI, equipment and van. I have a village idiot do my weeding twice a year. I pay him £20 a time at it takes him between 1 and 2 hours. He is gratefull and so am I. I hope he's reading this and puts his prices up.:hihi:.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArchViz Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Minimum wage I would want to pay, after all it's only a labouring job, not brain surgery. Regards Angel. You're absolutely right and that is why a surgeon's salary will be six figures equating to an hourly rate of £100 per hour. Judging by your contribution to the thread I would surmise that you have been a patient of the £10 per hour variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex3659 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 A gardener is not a labourer he/she is an artist, if you have a magnificent garden like I myself have you need to know that the work done on it is a top job. That's why I only but my wife the best tools and equipment. She has just finished a six hour shift on our garden and it was a pleasure to see her at work. :hihi::hihi:.... We are having two open days at the end of this month, coach parties are welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
