    How much did you get paid when you were an apprentice???

    £125 a week in 2000. Upped to about 250 in 2003. Was on about the same in 2005 then the old c**t died so I took all his tools and went to agency work. 350 a week mostly taping. Most I ever made in 1 week was the agency work but I'm a lazy b*****d eh so can't complain. ;D

    new section in the private members area

    you need a certain amount of posts to access the area though do you not Danny? That'd mean that jobs are getting handed round a few select guys that have enough posts to access them no?
