those #s you state is a sparky working 70 to 80 hrs a week. No life at all and any sane person who has a family really won't know there family. A 40 hr a week sparky will average between 100 to 125k a year and be home by 3pm

and you wonder why costs are going up in residential construction. Local companies are having to pay blokes more than ever before just to try and keep them so they don't leave and go off to these big build jobs.
