If the advertiser doesn't state a wage then the person typing up the add has to say it's at least min wage I doubt thats what he's paying.

Lots of work in Coventry. Had a drive round today, there's a site adjacent to one I worked on a couple of years ago in full swing, 1700 house was the rumour at the time for Bellway.
Big tech going up in the city centre for Kier and remedial works on mothballed sites starting up all over.
Couldn't believe it. :0
Never worked for under a tenner an hour , then I moaned like buggery about travelling etc. Sit tight, there's something in the ether ;)
