Done a week at a pikey caravan park in feltham. Was there before for two years and they dont come any rougher. First night back the leccie went, just as i finished cooking. Second night bed collapsed. Third night soaked through sky light. The shower room no leccie, ever and i forgot my torch. Outside caravan stank of dog and horse shite. Next week i'm set up in a bedsit in slough, a ton a week for room, £4 for evening meal. where are you based suggs?

Would'nt share, like a single peta :;): There are cheaper rooms but you pay for what you get, apparently they will be 'good digs'. Between digs and petrol it is 140 a week, without found.

yeah i hate sharing ,even on stag dos i always pay extra for my own room,a m8 of mine works away a lot and he always stays at premier inns,£70 a night mid wek but he reckons worth every penny for a decent nights kip

Who covers the cost of digs and petrol? at £70.00 per night + diesel youre not going to have much wages left!

they fit log burners nationwide,so its not always convenient to drive 300 miles home if its a 2 day job, and of course it has to be factored in to the overall business cost

its the same as the bakers/cafe, most lads i know would rather spend £7-10 a day on decent fresh grub than go in some grotty place and get crap food for a £3.
the main thing i know about digs ( from personal experience) is DONT get a room in a pub
its fatal
