      If you think £300 a week is good Money I worry.

      its Minimum wage, zero hours and possibly piece work as per the link that is abused.

      I assume you have applied?

        Or the unemployed can pick up a paint brush and earn £1000 a week as a painter and decorator. In the dry, short days.

          as mentioned before I would be happy clearing tables for £125K. The key thing here is the money is worth more for Romanians etc.

          If its so easy why aren't all the zero hour delivery drivers and warehouse workers all over it????

          If it were a missed niche the UBER drivers etc would have figured it out, they may be poor but they aren't stupid.


          Stop with the racism.

              It's very good money if you're an average Romanian.

                  But that's not what they said. Their quotes were quite selective to pick on a particular stereotype.

                      Exactly, all Romanians I know are very hard workers. BTW, salary for general IT work in Romania is getting close to UK rates
