That reminds me of the tight old farmer recruiting "I don't pay much per hour, but there are plenty of hours"

£22! What are they paying the operator in, bananas?

 

[Robt]

Im guessing he is the operator and needs some cash to meet the finance payment!

£44.00 then for the 2 hours it’ll take ( when I can again ) to get me to Doncaster airport.
Cheaper than a 1 hour journey at £60 odd in a taxi.

What sort of work and who pays the fuel, how much non chargeable time a day etc.
A lot more to some of these jobs than the headline rate.
